[Verse 1]
The snakes they can crawl and the cheetahs they can bawl
And their ghosts can wait for the hereafter
But if you are so proud as to say that's not allowed
We will get sick and choke ourselves with laughter

[Chorus]
And the girlfriends that you knew
To whom you promised to be true
We'll have their sisters hanging from the rafters
And every dirty shade
Will rise rotting from its grave
Tomorrow will be just like the day after

[Verse 2]
Oh, the bitter desert wind will come ripping through your skin
And everything that's calm will turn to madness
And all of your false tears will come whirling down the years
And what was kind and warm will turn to sadness

[Verse 3]
And the sun and the moon will come begging at your door
The stars will turn to rust and drop from the skies
And everybody soon will be asking you for more
And everybody will be telling lies
[Chorus]
And the girlfriends that you knew
To whom you promised to be true
We'll have their sisters hanging from the rafters
And every dirty shade
Will rise rotting from its grave
Tomorrow will be just like the day after

[Chorus]
And the girlfriends that you knew
To whom you promised to be true
We'll have their sisters hanging from the rafters
And every dirty shade
Will rise rotting from its grave
Tomorrow will be just like the day after

[Refrain]
Tomorrow will be just like the day after
