Yesterday's Move Songtext
von Jay Clifford

Yesterday′s behind me in a yellow cab
Pulling out a pocket full of cash
A shadow in the rain
A spark inside the brain
Catches a glimpse of glasses and a fake mustache
Never far behind
Never far behind
Never far from raising all the shadows in my mind

Yesterday is riding on a microwave
Heading for the not-so-distant sun
Like static in the air
You'd never know it′s there
Until you think to turn the power on
Never far away
Never far away
Never far from turning all the blues and greens to grey


Yesterday is acting like a sycophant
Claiming all of history for it's own
Science and the arts
Matters of the heart
No longer mine when the moments gone
Never far to go
Never far to go
Never far to prove this mortal coil is just for show

Don't look back
Fade to renegade black
Hide my tracks
Yesterday′s move

Yesterday treats me like a bastard child
Never know just when i′ll need to run
Through the neighbor's yard
Jump the fence and start my car
Under the seat i keep my brother′s gun
Never far below
Never far below
Never far before the devil's streets begin to glow

Don′t look back
Fade to renegade black
Hide my tracks
Yesterday's move


On the other side
Of the starlights great divide
Serendipity is traded for disaster
I can hear him run
Behind the fading sun
And everyday he′s just a little faster

Don't look back
Fade to renegade black
Hide my tracks
Yesterday's move
