Hear It Coming

(writ 1978, recorded 2008)

Hey I know what you mean
I’m not the type to lock the door and throw away the key
I keep my mind running
Tomorrow belongs to those who hear it coming

Hey I don’t see far ahead
The road looks rather dusty and my crystal ball is dead
But my ears are humming
Tomorrow belongs to those who hear it coming
Tomorrow belongs to those who hear it coming

Standing by -awaiting orders
Standing by -a hear it coming
Standing by -awaiting orders
Standing by, standing by

Hey I hear what you said
They’re running ‘round like chickens plucked and buttered with no head
The sound of it’s stunning
Tomorrow belongs to those who hear it coming
Tomorrow belongs to those who hear it coming
Tomorrow belongs to those who hear it coming
Tomorrow belongs to those who hear it coming

Standing by -awaiting orders
Standing by -a hear it coming
Standing by -awaiting orders
Standing by, standing by

Hey you better run for the rock
Oh Babylon is falling and it’s never gonna stop
But my word is drumming
Tomorrow belongs to those who hear it coming
Tomorrow belongs to those who hear it coming
