about

5. In a Day or Two. Pinkish Floyd kind of song about change, how everything does a full 180 in time. Theme of the EP continues: live artfully and enjoy life. In this case the life changes made seem irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. A wanton woman to a "wonder nun?" GOP to DNC? NBA star to fugitive? All the same in the long game, it seems. Predestined randomness, perhaps hinted at in "...prearranged/It's all gonna change/In a day or two..." and so: enjoy what's now, cos it's gonna change.

lyrics

In a Day or Two
(vonHummer)
See the man/Making love/Hot above/Honeymooning now with you?/He's gonna say/"Sorry, I'm gay,"/In a day or two...
See young Jeff/So talent bereft/He can't even play a kazoo?/He's gonna crack/Be a right Bach/In a day or two...
So don't bother the antique dealer/Asking "What's new?"/Prearranged/It's all gonna change/In a day or two...
See the jock/Run out the clock/Hovering over the hoop?/He'll be obese/Ducking police/In a day or two...
See the wanton woman/Wantin' to know/"Why don't we get drunk and screw?"/She'll be a number one/wonder nun/In a day or two...
So get mean/Join the Marines/Be one of the proud and the few/But prearranged/It's all gonna change/In a day or two...
I was there with a golden spike/When they finally/Put the railroad through/But with a champagne glass/I was flying First Class/In a day or two...
I jumped out the window in '29/Lost my mind/When the market blew/But I'd a been a billionaire/Had I kept my ass in the chair/For a day or two...
See Marie/In her SUV/GOP, National Review?/She'll be DNC/Sittin' a tree/In a day or two...
See Glenda/Hand to extend-a/Here to help your dream come true?/She'll be for sure/Your worst saboteur/In a day or two...
So why cry when the Upstairs Guy/Pull the rug under you?/Prearranged/It's all gonna change/In a day or two...
