Afterlife Lyrics - Reflektor - Arcade Fire

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 

In the dead light 

Of the afterglow

I've gotta know 

Can we work it out 

If we scream and shout 

Till we work it out? 

Can we just work it out 

If we scream and shout 

Till we 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? 

Photos 

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 

Can we work it out 

If we scream and shout 

Till we work it out? 

Can we just work it out 

If we 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? 

And after this 

Can it last through the night? 

After all the bad advice 

That had nothing at all to do with life 

I've gotta know 

Can we work it out 

If we scream and shout 

Till we work it out? 

Can we just work it out 

If we 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 

But where did it go? 

Oh, we know it's gone 

But where did it go? 

And where do we go? 

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
