The Hereafter

The Hereafter

Well, if you’ve been lookin’ for love
And all you’ve been getting’ is laughter
Better let me pull your coat, Jim
To the Hereafter
I’m talkin’ ‘bout the Hereafter

It might be nirvana
Paradise, I don’t know
Wherever that “It’s at” is at
I want to try and catch the show

But if you ain’t here after
What I’m here after
You’re gonna be here after I’m gone

God made a woman
So a woman could make a man
Come to the conclusion
You’d better make it what you can, Man

But don’t waste your money
Don’t waste your time
Don’t waste your love, Sugar
And don’t waste mine

Oh, they say that time is money
Same way they say that life’s a joke
We could stop the clock this time, honey
Baby, we could go for broke

So let’s take up the slack
Put it all on the line
While you’re makin’ up your face
Baby, make up your mind

Cuz if you ain’t here after
What I’m here after
You’re gonna be here after I’m gone
