Arcade Fire - Afterlife lyrics
[Arcade Fire - Afterlife lyrics]
Afterlife, oh my God, what an awful word
After all the breath, and the dirt
And the fires are burnt
And after all this time
And after all the ambulances go
And after all the hangers-on are done
Hanging on to the dead light
Of the afterglow i've gotta know
Can we work it out?
We scream and shout ‘til we work it out
Can we just work it out?
Scream and shout ‘til we work it out?
‘Til we work it out, ‘til we work it out
‘Til we work it out, ‘tilwe work it out
Afterlife, I think I saw what happens next
Oh, 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
And after all the hangers-on are done
Hanging on to the dead light
Of the afterglow i've gotta know
Can we work it out?
We scream and shout ‘til we work it out
Can we just work it out?
We scream and shout ‘til 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 we 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?
We scream and shout ‘til we work it out
Can we just work it out?
Scream and shout ‘til 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 but where did it go?
Oh, we know it's gone but where did it go?
And where do we go?"
Oh, oo oo oo, oo oo oo
Oh, oo oo oo, oo oo oo
Is this the afterlife?
It's just an afterlife with you
It's just an afterlife (Just an afterlife)
It's just an afterlife with you
(It’s just an afterlife)
It’s just an afterlife
After all the breath, and the dirt
And the fires are burnt
And after all this time
And after all the ambulances go
And after all the hangers-on are done
Hanging on to the dead light
Of the afterglow i've gotta know
Can we work it out?
We scream and shout ‘til we work it out
Can we just work it out?
Scream and shout ‘til we work it out?
‘Til we work it out, ‘til we work it out
‘Til we work it out, ‘tilwe work it out
Afterlife, I think I saw what happens next
Oh, 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
And after all the hangers-on are done
Hanging on to the dead light
Of the afterglow i've gotta know
Can we work it out?
We scream and shout ‘til we work it out
Can we just work it out?
We scream and shout ‘til 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 we 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?
We scream and shout ‘til we work it out
Can we just work it out?
Scream and shout ‘til 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 but where did it go?
Oh, we know it's gone but where did it go?
And where do we go?"
Oh, oo oo oo, oo oo oo
Oh, oo oo oo, oo oo oo
Is this the afterlife?
It's just an afterlife with you
It's just an afterlife (Just an afterlife)
It's just an afterlife with you
(It’s just an afterlife)
It’s just an afterlife
