Afterlife - Todd Rundgren

They say I don’t think enough about the afterlife

Of what’s below and above, it’s all in black and white

They say there’s only one kind of love

You have to choose just right

They say there’s only one kind of love

In the afterlife

Kiss it all goodbye

In the afterlife

You don’t get another try

But I can’t see, I don’t know how

That I won’t be what I am now, no

Even in my afterlife

And I won’t have some other heart

That could find peace though we’re apart, no

Even in my afterlife

It’s not enough anymore to be good in this life

They say you’ve got to be sure so you can sleep at night

The only love that endures gives up without a fight

The only love that endures

In the afterlife

Kiss it all goodbye

In the afterlife

It was just a clever lie

If I could never see your face

Then I would have to fall from grace, I know

Even in my afterlife

Or for eternity be blind to your presence in my mind, no

Even in my afterlife

And they could promise me a seat

At the right side of the throne

But all would still be incomplete

Within the holy host, alone

Without the guiding light so sweet

That has forever led me on

For me there’s no eternal rest

You and I have unfinished business

Yes, yes

Even in my afterlife

If I could still hold one thought clear

Then you will instantly appear, I know

Even in my afterlife

But I can’t see, I don’t know how

I won’t be what I am now, no

Not even in my afterlife

And I won’t have some other heart

That could find peace though we’re apart, no

Even in my afterlife, no no

Even in my afterlife

For I could not repose in bliss

Nevermore to know your kiss

No, no

Even in my afterlife…
