Terence Trent D'arby You Will Pay Tomorrow Lyrics

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
