Afterneath

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 I look back and I’m 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 I got your call on a red telephone I was laid out still beside the ashtray Trying to save a memory of you and me in a better time When suddenly our madness was there for all the world to see Carnage in good night despair A deep dive into an open mind On the lost highway of the caustic night When we held each others hand And then afterneath the neon motel light you said Let’s knock ‘em all down So I kissed 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
