Tomorrow Tomorrow Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody knows which way you go, straight to over
No one wants to see you inside of me, straight to over
I heard the hammer at the lock
Say you're deaf and dumb and done
Give yourself another talk
This time make it sound like someone

[Chorus]
The noise is coming out, and if it's not out now
Then tomorrow, tomorrow

They took your life apart and called your failures art
They were wrong though, they won't know, 'til tomorrow

[Verse 2]
I got static in my head
The reflected sound of everything
Tried to go to where it led
But it didn't lead to anything

The noise is coming out, and if it's not out now
I know it's just about to drown tomorrow out

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Tomorrow, Tomorrow is the second song off of Elliott Smith’s record XO.
The song features prominent acoustic guitar with limited percussive influence. Smith features his own voice throughout the song, harmonizing with himself on choice words.
With a theme centered around Smith’s mental dilapidation, there is heavy imagery present reflecting how confusion can overwhelm consciousness quickly.
