Take the makeup off your eyes.
I've got to see you,
Hear your sacred sighs.
Before the breakup,
Comes the silence.
I'm talking to you.
You say your over it,
But I know.
I thought I knew you.
You thought you knew me.
But now that you do,
It's not so easy now that I know.
You can cry; I won't go.
You can scream; I won't go.
Every man that you know,
Would have a run at
the word go.

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?
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 got to know...
**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_
Trapped in prison,
In a prism of light.
Alone in the darkness,
A darkness of light.
We fell in love,
Alone on a stage,
In the reflective age.
Entre la nuit,
La nuit et l'aurore.
Entre le royaume des
Vivants et des morts.
If this is heaven,
I don't know what it's for.
If I can't find you there,
I don't care!
**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_**_
They say heavens a place,
Yeah, heavens a place
And they know where it is.
But you know where it is--
It's behind the gate
And they won't let you in.
And when they hear the beat,
Coming from the street,
They lock the door.
But if there's no music
Up in heaven,
Then what's it for?
When I hear the beat,
The spirits on me
Like a live wire.
A thousand horses running
Wild in a city on fire.
But it starts in your feet,
Then it goes to you head.
And if you can't feel it,
Then the roots are dead.
And if you're the judge,
Then what is our crime?
Here comes the night time.
