Every time you want to make the world go away
And when I fall
Friday silent hell began
Monday's afterthought was blind
Remember still there is a blessing
Sunday never came to mind
I played the jester perfectly, hail yesterday
You self serving arrogant sycophant
I played the jester perfectly when misery delivered me
Hail yesterday
Yesterday was plagued with rain
Like seven drops of velvet pain
I played the jester perfectly when misery delivered me
Saturday was plagued with rain
Every time you want to make the world go away
Hail yesterday
And crawl into the pain

I have the strength to learn the steps
Your selfish acts thoughtless tasks and livid rants
Within the hardest lesson
If your mother gave the lesson
Tuesday stole the show
Never waste the truth
Thursday was the day of sin
Just take an injection of your chosen misery

Your selfish acts thoughtless tasks and livid rants
Hail yesterday

Just take an injection of your chosen misery
Sometimes the mirror is cruel

I played the jester perfectly, hail yesterday
Tuesday stole the show
You self serving arrogant sycophant
Hail yesterday
When Wednesday killed the golden crow
