Next Tuesday's King

Verse 1

Maybe

Next week

I’ll find a way out of the gutter

Climb the silver ladder

Stop being a bitter brother

The rent

Is overdue

I owe the landlord and the butcher

I’ll get it done later

I am a famous waiter

Chorus

Maybe someday

Next time around

When the clouds come down

Maybe someday

I’ll get my head on straight

I’ll fix the garden gate

Someday

Someday

Verse 2

Now

Right now

The sofa is a velvet trap

The television is a map

Of places

I’ll never see

I’ll pack my bags and go

I’ll start the show

Maybe

On Tuesday

I’ll buy a ticket to the moon

Eat with a plastic spoon

I’m a king

Without a ring

Chorus

Maybe someday

Next time around

When the clouds come down

Maybe someday

I’ll get my head on straight

I’ll fix the garden gate

Someday

Someday

Bridge

Waiting for the weather to break

Waiting for the fever to shake

Waiting for the promise to take

I’m gonna win

I’m gonna fly

I’m gonna try

Someday

Maybe

Eventually

Guitar Solo

Saxophone Solo

Chorus

Maybe someday

Next time around

When the clouds come down

Maybe someday

I’ll get my head on straight

I’ll fix the garden gate

Someday

Someday

Outro

Next year

Next month

Maybe tomorrow

No more sorrow

Just maybe

Maybe

Not today

Not today
