This week’s song: See You In The Afterlife by Foster The People

LYRICS

The world is spinning madly
Seeing kaleidoscopic lights
And it’s like we’ve all been hypnotized
As we’re driftin’ off to paradise

Well, I used to go by Johnny, but now you can call me Jackie O
Uh-huh, walking in stilettos, breaking down the walls like Jericho
Today I woke up crying, so I went into a church to pray
They said, “Excuse me, but you’ll have to leave or we’re calling security”

The headlines got us thinking that we’re all gonna die
Then convince us that we have to buy a ticket for the afterlifе

Well, the world is spinning madly
Seeing kaleidoscopic lights
And it’s likе we’ve all been hypnotized
As we’re driftin’ off to paradise

And the self-important faces
Are just laughing at the signs
And the Coliseum’s empty
I guess I’ll see you in the afterlife

Well, it’s European summer and the skies are looking kinda mean
Well, I’m thinking of a holiday, what’s the weather like in Kyiv?
(Uh-huh) and the sun is peeking out over all the tired faces
Well, my friends were going out last night and I still haven’t heard from them

The headlines got us thinking that we’re all gonna die
Then convince us that we have to sell our ticket for the afterlife

I guess I’ll see you in the afterlife
I guess I’ll see you in the afterlife

Then the self-important faces
Are just laughing at the signs
And the Coliseum’s empty
I guess I’ll see, I guess I’ll see you in the afterlife
