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
