Afterneath Lyrics – Paolo Nutini
Babe, babe
You know, baby
Ooh
Mm
Baby, baby
You know
What I want
Baby, baby, baby
Amid the chaos of that day
When all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots
And all I could smell was the violence in the air
(You know that I want you)
I look back still amazed
That my thoughts were so clear and true
That three words went through my mind endlessly
Repeating themselves, like a broken record
You’re so cool ([?])
You’re so cool
You’re so cool
You’re so cool (Let’s just look at that)
You’re so cool
([?])
I got your call when I looked at my phone (I want to let you know)
I was laid out still beside the ash-tray ([?])
Trying to save a memory of you and me at a better time (Oh, baby)
What suddenly [?] was there for all the world to see ([?])
Carnage, and good night to spare
A deep dive into an open mind
On the lost highway of the caustic night
And we held each other’s hand
And then afterneath a neon motel light
You said: (Oh)
“Let’s knock ’em all down”
So I kiss your lips
As you took me in the violence thinking
This will be the end
This will be the end
This will be the end
You’re so cool
You’re so cool
You’re so cool
You’re so cool
You’re so cool
You’re so cool
