[Verse 1]
Shine on, prodigal son
Got to have your morning glory
Keep on having your fun
It'll be the same old story soon
Soon it will be afternoon
Sun getting hot as a fine
Never mind

[Chorus]
Keep on watching the sky
Keep on waiting to die
Keep on wondering why
Afternoon
Afternoon

[Verse 2]
Burn on, celestial star
Burn away the times that find you
Groove on wherever you are
Do your thing, no one will find you here
You won't have nothing to fear
But time slipping away
Day by day

[Chorus]
Keep on watching the sky
Keep on waiting to die
Keep on wondering why
Afternoon
Afternoon
[Verse 3]
Shine bright, prodigal son
Rushed off to your happy ending
Good night, celestial one
No use wasting time pretending now
Now that you [?] in style
Hating your time and your space
Lose that race

[Chorus]
Keep on watching the sky
Keep on waiting to die
Keep on wondering why
It's afternoon
Afternoon
