You Will Pay Tomorrow Lyrics by 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
