[Verse 1:]
|
Afterlife, oh my God, what an awful word
|
After all the breath and the pill 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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Can we work it out?
|
Let's scream and shout 'till we work it out
|
Can we just work it out?
|
Scream and shout 'till we work it out?
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
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?
|
|
[Verse 3:]
|
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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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?
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
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
|
When love is gone
|
Where did it go?
|
And where do we go?
|
|
It's just an afterlife
|
It's just an afterlife
|
