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
