Afterglow

Mama said all your dreams will come true If you sleep in the right bed Tell me what time it is I have been working on my plan I’m gonna fall in love forever Won’t you tell me what time it is? How can wood live longer than me? How can glass live longer than me When it breaks so easily? What are you supposed to do after sex if you don’t smoke? How can you know what money tastes like if you’re broke? I’m not responsible for what happens after this song Why do you think mine are always so long? Mmm, gimme that afterglow I’ve got to be content with what I’ve got I know my soul must have lost its shine But there must still be time I still feel fine, ‘cept when I don’t Pray to the lord at every temptation Just 1 More, the call letters of my station And I try to live right, I try to keep sober Try to keep my friends close and keep myself closer But I break so easily What are you supposed to do after sex if you don’t smoke? How can you know what money tastes like if you’re broke? I’m not responsible for what happens after this song Why do you think mine are always so long? Mmm, gimme that afterglow I’ve got to be content with what I’ve got Mmm, gimme the afterglow I’ve got to be content not knowing what time it is No theme song will greet my feet on the street No credits sequence will rock me to sleep So hold me in your arms cause if there’s one thing in the world That I don’t want to end, it’s you
