Between Today and Yesterday

He'll never see his mother's face

Or feel his father's hand

Who can you show when you succeed

In never-never land?

He's afraid to have his fortune told

For fear what it might mean

He doesn't want the picture drawn

Of things he has to dream

Between today and yesterday is like a million years

And the only truthful man he's seen was standing there in tears

Believe in me, his saviour said

And you will be redeemed

But alas, abdullah, his savior fell

He wasn't what he seemed

Now the only happy man he's seen

Was guilty but insane

And he laughed and danced because he knew

That his watchers felt the blame

Between today and yesterday is like a million years

And the only truthful man he's seen was standing there in tears

Beware,the mirror on the wall gets less friendly with passing time

Enough, I said enough, just draw the shades

Please let me drink black wine

Yes, I know it's the ending

You can leave it all to me...
