Cinnamon was seated
By a shady tree*
Waiting for the breeze to roll by
She had everyone down on their hands and knees
searching for a piece of her time
All the lonely people**
they couldn't bear with seeing her frown.
But she never noticed
yeah, sure they could stop
But they'd miss the pain of bending down
[Chorus:]
Every day is the same as tomorrow
Every tomorrow is yesterday's news.
That's cause we're always singing
The same old song
I guess it's time for something new
(Well, something new)
[short bridge]
Cinnamon worked in a movie studio
That's where she fell in love with Joe
How it happened I don't know
He was a boom operator
a boom operator *(3)
They're making a sequel with the same part as the first
Only with different actors saying the lines.
"If there's any-thing I've learned," he said
"it's that only the weak survive"
[Chorus:]
Every day is the same as tomorrow
Every tomorrow is yesterday's news.
That's cause we're always singing
The same old song
I guess it's time for something new
(Yeah)
[short bridge]
Joe left Cinnamon later that month
because he couldn't pick her out in the crowd
He couldn't find a latte in a sea of frappuccinos
So he left her there to figure it out
Go on now Joe
walk out the door
Don't turn around now
cause you'll only cry
You've got to pull out on the high road
Get yourself to Kinko's
And buy a box of "Think Outside"
[Chorus:]
Every day is the same as tomorrow
Every tomorrow is yesterday's news.
That's cause we're always singing
The same old song
I guess it's time for something new
Oh, Something New!
[Bridge - with nod to bossa nova standard - "Girl from Ipanema"]
It was Saturday
in the car *(4)
and Joe was kicking his dust to the wind
With the windows down - the unfilter
they will take him
ever' he's never been
All he had was the tune in his head
But, not knowing how to make it his
And as he drives into the sunset
every single station
sings to him how ironic it is
[Chorus:]
Every day is the same as tomorrow
Every tomorrow is yesterday's news
That's cause we're always singing
the same old song
I guess it's time for something
[Chorus:]
Every day is the same as tomorrow
Every tomorrow is yesterday's news
that's cause we're always singing
the same old song
I guess it's time for something
I guess it's time for something new
*Starts with piano similar to opening of "Saturday in the Park" by Chicago
**Nod to "All the Lonely People" by The Beatles
*(3) Homage to "Smooth Operator" by Sade
*(4) Sounds similar to the chorus of "Saturday in the Park" by Chicago
