When she was six years old I drove her our old town And got as close as I could To the house where her mother drowned We could see it's shape And the gutters rusted brown Beneath the cresting waves We stayed 'til the tide came round Then she asked me Then she asked me what's after life After life Then she asked me Then she asked me what's after life After life I watched the water rise On the banks of the last suburb There's nowhere left to hide We're alone on a drowning earth Got me asking Got me asking what's after life After life Got me asking Got me asking what's after life After life We are alone We are alone We are alone We are alone
