| They say I don’t think enough about the afterlife
|
| Of what’s below and above, it’s all in black and white
|
| They say there’s only one kind of love
|
| You have to choose just right
|
| They say there’s only one kind of love
|
| In the afterlife
|
| Kiss it all goodbye
|
| In the afterlife
|
| You don’t get another try
|
| But I can’t see, I don’t know how
|
| That I won’t be what I am now, no
|
| Even in my afterlife
|
| And I won’t have some other heart
|
| That could find peace though we’re apart, no
|
| Even in my afterlife
|
| It’s not enough anymore to be good in this life
|
| They say you’ve got to be sure so you can sleep at night
|
| The only love that endures gives up without a fight
|
| The only love that endures
|
| In the afterlife
|
| Kiss it all goodbye
|
| In the afterlife
|
| It was just a clever lie
|
| If I could never see your face
|
| Then I would have to fall from grace, I know
|
| Even in my afterlife
|
| Or for eternity be blind to your presence in my mind, no
|
| Even in my afterlife
|
| And they could promise me a seat
|
| At the right side of the throne
|
| But all would still be incomplete
|
| Within the holy host, alone
|
| Without the guiding light so sweet
|
| That has forever led me on
|
| For me there’s no eternal rest
|
| You and I have unfinished business
|
| Yes, yes
|
| Even in my afterlife
|
| If I could still hold one thought clear
|
| Then you will instantly appear, I know
|
| Even in my afterlife
|
| But I can’t see, I don’t know how
|
| I won’t be what I am now, no
|
| Not even in my afterlife
|
| And I won’t have some other heart
|
| That could find peace though we’re apart, no
|
| Even in my afterlife, no no
|
| Even in my afterlife
|
| For I could not repose in bliss
|
| Nevermore to know your kiss
|
| No, no
|
| Even in my afterlife… |
