After the Fall Songtext

von Klaus Nomi

So I told you 'bout the total eclipse now,
But still it caught you unaware,
But I'm telling you, hold on, hold on,
Tomorrow will be there.

And even those who went to church upon Sunday,
You thought you didn't even have a prayer,
But I'm telling you, hold on, hold on,
Tomorrow will be there.

After the fall, we'll be born, born, born again,
After it all blows away.
After the fall, after the fall
After it all blows away.

We'll take a million years of civilization,
We're going to give it the electric chair,
But I'm telling you,
Hold on,
Hold on,
Tomorrow will be there.

We'll see one hundred million lonely mutants,
They will be glowing in their dark despair,
But I'm telling you,
Hold on,
Hold on,
Tomorrow will be there.

After the fall, we'll be born, born, born again,
After it all blows away.
After the fall, after the fall,
After it all blows away.

Well, the freak shall inherit the earth now,
No matter how well done or rare,
But I'm telling you,
Hold on,
Hold on,
Tomorrow will be there.

We'll vent/breathe our radioactive gases,
Into the radioactive air,
But I'm telling you,
Hold on,
Hold on,
Tomorrow will be there.

After the fall, we'll be born, born, born again,
After it all blows away.
After the fall, after the fall,
After it all blows away.
After the fall, after the fall,
After the fall, after the fall,
After the fall, after the fall...
