Afterlife

Afterlife, oh my God, what an awful word

After all the breath and the dirt

And the fires that burn

And after all this time

And after all the ambulances go

And after all the hangers-on are done

Hanging on to the dead lights

Of the afterglow

I've gotta know

Can we work it out?

We scream and shout 'till we work it out

Can we just work it out?

Scream and shout 'till we work it out?

'Till we work it out, 'till we work it out

'Till we work it out, 'till we work it out

Afterlife, I think I saw what happens next

It was just a glimpse of you

Like looking through a window

Or a shallow sea

Could you see me?

And after all this time

It's like nothing else we used to know

After all the hangers-on are done

Hanging on to the dead lights

Of the afterglow

I've gotta know

Can we work it out?

Let's scream and shout 'till we work it out

Can we just work it out?

If you scream and shout 'till we work it out?

But you say

Oh, when love is gone

Where does it go?

And you say

Oh, when love is gone

Where does it go?

And where do we go?

Where do we go?

Where do we go?

Where do we go?

Where do we go?

Where do we go?

Where do we go?

Where do we go?

And after this

Can it last another night?

After all the bad advice

Had nothing at all to do with life

I've gotta know

Can we work it out?

Scream and shout 'till we work it out?

Can we just work it out?

Scream and shout 'till we work it out?

But you say

Oh, when love is gone

Where does it go?

And you say

Oh, when love is gone

Where does it go?

Oh, we know it's gone

Where did it go?

Oh, we know it's gone

Where did it go?

And where do we go?

Is this the afterlife?

It's just an afterlife, with you

It's just an afterlife

It's just an afterlife, with you

It's just an afterlife
