(words and music by Joe Jackson)



Something's coming, something big

Something I can't stand

Dark as the ocean, secret and cruel

Something I can't command



Something's waiting down a muggers' alley

To see what's on my mind

Take a deep breath, start walking faster

It's dark, but I'm not blind



You never know, if I push at this wall

My hand could pass through

So, this cloud of unknowing

Could disappear too



It's only the future
