Arcade Fire - Afterlife lyrics

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
