If you want money in your pocket and a top hat on your head
a hot meal on your table and a blanket on your bed
Well, today is grey skies tomorrow is tears
You'll have to wait 'til yesterday is here

I'm going to New York City and I'm leaving on a train
and if you want to stay behind and wait 'til [bad word] back again
Well, today is grey skies tomorrow is tears
You'll have to wait 'til yesterday is here

If you want to go where the rainbows end
you'll have to say goodbye
All our [bad word] [bad word] baby up ahead
and it's out where your memories lie

Well, the road is out before me and the moon is shining bright
What I want you to remember as I disappear tonight
Well, today is grey skies tomorrow is tears
You'll have to wait 'til yesterday is here

Well, today is grey skies tomorrow's tears
You'll have to wait 'til yesterday is here
You'll have to wait 'til yesterday is here
You'll have to wait 'til yesterday is here
