Aftermath - R.E.M.

Now the radio stutters.

snaps to life

Some sour song that sets it right

And when London falls

He’d like to call

But the stars collide

They’re beautiful and much maligned

In a universe where you see the worst

And it’s up to you to fix it

Now you’ve worked it out

And you see it all

And you’ve worked it out

And you see it all

And you want to shout

How you see it all

It’s easy to dismiss the «what's it all about» crowd

There is no doubt, it’s this, here, now

And you close your eyes

He’s not coming back

So you work it out, overfeed the cat

And the plants are dry and they need to drink

So you do your best.

and you flood the sink

Sit down in the kitchen and cry

Now you’ve worked it out

And you see it all

And you’ve worked it out

And you see it all

And you want to shout

How you see it all

Now the universe left you for a runners lap

It feels like home when it comes crashing back

And it makes you laugh

And it makes you cry

When London falls

And you’re still alive

The radio stutters

It makes you laugh

And the aftermath

Open up your eyes

You’re so alive

Now you’ve worked it out

And you see it all

And you’ve worked it out

And you see it all

And you want to shout

How you see it all
