Afterlife

Let me run on
Afterlife
Filling up the tank with it
Like a kid I ran it past
Rolling in the tiger grass
We were mean and seventeen
Make it like a dream
She said
We were clean like kerosene
Candy and porno magazines

Coming through the radio reflections
Coming through the radio
The telephone
The TV
When my horse was kicking
Son
Son
Son
(Eeh)

When the light came
Big and bright
I began another life
When the light came
Big and bright
I began another life

Let me write down
Every word
Once I was a mockingbird
Not an angel
But I'm your man
I can bring you back again
A prayer was a baited hook
Scribbled in a history book
Let me run on
In between
Heaven and the TV screen

Running in the afterlife
Reflections
Coming through the radio
The telephone
The TV
When my horse was kicking
Son
Son
Son
(Eeh)

When the light came
Big and bright
I began another life
When the light came
Big and bright
I began another life
