The Day After Tomorrow

This house will be your prison until the morning light

Comes to free with feeling of uncertainty

We may never know what we might have been

But at least you saved yourself from the anxiety

You've memorized your lines so well

Well I guess I've learned to play my part

With a certain subtle ease

Concentrate on television, sleeping pills, or lying still

But I have to know the cause if I'm to cure the disease



Recess, reach the edge of consummation

Without warning turn and walk away

Recess, past the point of consolation

With a warning turn and walk away

Turn and walk away

But I have to know the cause if I'm to cure the disease

Have to know the cause, have to know the cause



Recess, reach the edge of consummation

Without warning turn and walk away

Recess, past the point of consolation

With a warning turn and walk away

Learn and walk away

This is resignation, I resign myself not even to try

This is hesitation and I know it will never satisfy
