And Tell me how does God Choose, who's prayers does he Refuse? who turns the wheel Who rolls the dice, on the Day after tomorrow I'm not fighting for justice I am not fighting for freedom I am fighting for my life and Another day in the world here I just do what I've been told We're just the gravel on the road And only the lucky ones come Home, on the day after tomorrow And the summer it too Will fade and with it Brings the winter's frost dear And I know we too are made Of all the things that we have Lost here, I'll be 21 today I been saving all my pay And my plane will touch down On the day after tomorrow ______________________________________ ABOUT TOM WAITS In the work of American songwriter Tom Waits, swampy blues, Beat poetry, West Coast jazz, Tin Pan Alley, country, 1930s-era cabaret, and post-Civil War parlor songs meet neon-lit carnival music and wheezing, clattering, experimental rhythms (often played by makeshift musical instruments), forming a keenly individual musical universe. It has often been imitated but never replicated. Since the '70s, Waits has charted a path from playing fleabag dive bars to opera theaters and prestigious concert halls all over the world. His recordings - from early masterpieces such as Small Change and Blue Valentine and the twisted, dramatic, and black, humorous art songs on the trilogy of Swordfishtrombones, Rain Dogs, and Frank's Wild Years, to the deconstructed experimental soundworlds erected for Bone Machine and Mule Variations - have charted the lives and circumstances of the humble, forgotten, evil, demented, abandoned, cursed, and just plain down-on-their-luck humans to places of honor in our pantheon in a spirit akin to the photographs of Robert Frank and Diane Arbus. Waits has won two Grammys and is a member of the 2011 class of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is included among the 2010 list of Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Singers, as well as its 2015 list of 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time.
