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 |
