Words and music by Tad Williams

Were you happier tomorrow
Than you planned on yesterday?
Were you bigger in the morning
Than on any other day?
Or were you hiding in the corner
When you came knocking at the door?
Will you pour yourself another?
Can you take a little more?

Were you happier tomorrow
Or did you forget to smile?
Did you forget the pope was catholic
Just for a while crocodile?
Why are the churches all on fire?
Why were you late to see the play?
While you were bringing home the bacon
Did you forget to save the day?

I see you’ve got your best suit on
I’ll bet you’re poised for the attack
Better take that new suit off and wear it inside out
‘Cause you’re not going on — you’re falling back

Were you happier tomorrow
Or did you forget to pray?
Have you lit your special candles
To fill the darkness of the day?
How can you wait so goddamned long
When your attention span’s so small?
Did you pick up too big a handful
And now you just can’t hold it all?

I see you’ve got your best suit on
I’ll bet you’re poised for the attack
Better take that new suit off and wear it inside out
‘Cause you’re not going on — you’re falling back
