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...
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...
