[Verse 1]
Afterlife, oh my God, what an awful word
After all the breath, and the dirt, and the fires are burnt
And after all this time, and after all the ambulances go
And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on
To the dead light of the afterglow
I've gotta know

[Chorus]
Can we work it out?
We scream and shout till we work it out
Can we just work it out?
Scream and shout till we work it out?
Till we work it out, till we work it out

[Verse 2]
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?
After all this time it's like nothing else we used to know
And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on
To the dead light of the afterglow
I've gotta know

[Chorus]
Can we work it out?
We scream and shout till we work it out
Can we just work it out?
Scream and shout till we work it out?
[Bridge]
But you say, oh
When love is gone
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
When love is gone
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?

[Outro]
When love is gone
Where does it go?
Where does it go?
Where do we go?
