Lyrics of Afterlife by Arcade Fire
verse
Afterlife
Oh my God, what an awful word
After all the breath, and the dirt
And the fires are burnt
verse
And after all this time
And after all the ambulances go
And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on
In the dead light of the afterglow
I've gotta know
chorus
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, 'til we work it out
verse
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?
verse
And after all this time
It's like nothing else we used to know
And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on
In the dead light of the afterglow
I've gotta know
chorus
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
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?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
verse
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?
We scream and shout 'til we work it out?
Can we just work it out?
We scream and shout 'til 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, 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?
outro
Is this the afterlife?
outro
It's just an afterlife with you
It's just an afterlife
outro
It's just an afterlife with you
outro
It's just an afterlife
Writer(s): William Butler, Win Butler, Regine Chassagne, Jeremy Gara, Tim Kingsbury, Richard R Parry
