Afterthought Songtext
von Retirement Party

Wish I could go
But I′m too tired to sleep if you can believe that
On the fast track to burning out or burning up in the sun
Seas are rising but the Midwest is fine until
The Great Lakes are flooded and endanger my life
They say we've got ten years but I doubt that they′re right
No point in overthinking the impending plight

Soon I awoke
And you wouldn't believe the dream I had last night
We were huddled in a space shuttle
Out of control, fearing for our lives
But reality shows itself in odd ways
Worn-out tires can't grip the icy highway


We can pretend all that we want
Keep your head straight, not an afterthought
We can pretend all that we want
Keep your head straight, not an afterthought

Accident-prone or just actually exposed to the disease?
Get some rest, drink some fluids
Here′s a blanket, take your temperature hourly
′Til you're fine

We can pretend all that we want
Keep your head straight, not an afterthought
We can pretend all that we want
Keep your head straight, not an afterthought
Keep your head straight, not an afterthought
Keep your head straight, not an afterthought
