After you're gone, babies  ride the soft machine  threading the warm children  down the space between  into a slow heaven  hanging by a thread  leaving the still living  for the walking dead  It took so long  to find my way out of here  out of the warm night, to the hard light  shivering with fear  After you're gone, babies  crawling on the world  touching the souls of all the lonely  carefree boys and girls  daddy needs you  mamma feeds you  and they come until they go  but if I'm lonely, I'm the only one who knows  It took so long  to find my way out of here  out of the warm night, to the hard light  shivering with fear  after the slow lonely waiting  I'm all alone, alone and free  If you see me, please believe me  I wannna be  After you're gone, babies  screaming at the rain  hanging a slow heaven  in the wind again  She's been waiting  270 days  sick of waiting  when you see me  please believe me  I'm the only one who cares at all  [chorus]   After the slow lonely heaven  I'm all alone, alone and free  if you see me  please believe me  I wanna be  After you're gone...
