Terence Trent D'arby - You Will Pay Tomorrow lyrics

rate me

As I hold my head down

Against a whipping hard rain babe

Slaps me like a sheet

Sheets of rain coming down

As I dig my heels deep

In a minefield of muddy water

I hear a voice loud and low

Stays with me wherever I go sayin'

You will pay tomorrow for what

You do today

Accept this as a truth

For old as well as youth

You will pay tomorrow for what

You do today

As sure as you are born

Though you may be weak and torn

As a snake pulls up beside me

Thinking that my name is Eve

My dark side starts to chide me

But I bring him down to his knees

As I close my eyes tight

Deep in meditation

Peaceful sleep evades me

But a low pitched drone invades me sayin'

You will pay tomorrow for what

You do today

Though you run you cannot hide

It's a truth that shall abide sayin'

You will pay tomorrow for what

You do today

It will find you in the morning

A heartache for your warning

As I shake my head twice

Saying I'd rather fight than switch

I was land rich but penny poor

But I couldn't tell which from which

As my kneecaps break the fall

Of my begging for grace and favour

Bell, Book and Candle holds me

But a spellbinding whisper scolds me saying

You will pay tomorrow for what

You do today

Though your vision may be bleary

And your eyes that see may be weary - but

You will pay tomorrow for what

You do today

On your mind it will wear

Ignore it if you dare

As I shed my second skin

Beneath a bullet box roller-coaster

I view my transformation

Through the veil of a jokester

As I gain my second sight

I shed a tear and I shake the crowd

I used to rather be dead than humble

But now I'd rather be dead than proud

You will pay tomorrow for what

You do today

After deep time tossed confusion

I came to my own conclusion that

You will pay tomorrow for what

You do today

Accept this as a notion

As fish breathe in the dirty ocean
