You Will Pay Tomorrow

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
