Lyrics
Love in the Afterlife
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
you were on fire so bearably hot
you burned much brighter and then you burned out
did you really think you'd go on forever
the women all cried when you tied the knot
senators and congressmen sent their regards
and your wedding shut down a city block
i hope that you find love in the afterlife
your wife had a son and she gave him your name
your friends say that you and he look just the same
but he don't have the hunger you had at his age
i hope that you find love in the afterlife
your son made a record and it made him a star
but mostly because people know who you are
does he resent you - maybe he's got the right to
i hope that you find love in the afterlife
