| It’s a down beat, the beat comes down | |
| And rides the Monarch out of town | |
| The Monarch is a butterfly who’s built the same as you and I | |
| He wears blue jeans with a wine belly | |
| He’s secreting royal jelly | |
| Which his consort loves to cook | |
| And then they peer in the cooking book | |
| I’m gonna see you in the afterlight | |
| I’m gonna see you in the afterlight | |
| Everyone is made of meat | |
| They’re full of life and life is sweet | |
| Sweet as honey to the bear he’ll | |
| Tear you into bits of hair | |
| And if they cut him open after | |
| He has eaten all your laughter | |
| I’m gonna see you in the afterlight | |
| I’m gonna see you in the afterlight | |
| I’m gonna see you in the afterlight | |
| Hello tiny madam, can I comfort you tonight | |
| When the priest has gone? Oh, right - | |
| I’m gonna see you in the afterlife, a-hooo | |
| Welcome to our living room | |
| Where the iguanas loom | |
| They gaze out at the giant leaves | |
| Magnolias that brush the eaves | |
| It’s always coming to an end | |
| It’s always dark around the bend | |
| But I will stay with you beyond | |
| Everything that’s been and gone… | |
| I’m gonna see you in the afterlight | |
| I’m gonna see you in the afterlight | |
| I’m gonna see you in the afterlight | |
| Hello tiny madam, can I comfort you tonight? | |
| With the tiny world so bright - | |
| I’m gonna see you in the afterlight a-hoo | |
| A-hooo |
