Golden Tom – Silver Judas - The New Basement Tapes

They say that today makes up for what yesterday lacked

And it must be some old day and that is a fact

Can’t talk to nobody, don’t know just how they’ll react

Weigh the silver and gold

Be precise and exact

How can today make up for yesterday

For it we break up, I guess you would stay

Buffalo Bill wouldn’t have known what to do

If he got a just one look, just one good look at you

And I don’t know what to do either

Just want to tell you it’s neither

Tom said «Don't take her», Judas said «Leave her»

How can today make up for yesterday

For if we break up, I guess you would stay

So Golden Tom said to poor Silver Judas

«It's so hard to say who’s the worst of the two of us

So don’t brood

There’s no fraud in this feud

I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know what to do»

How can today make up for yesterday

For it we break up, I wish you would stay
