King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson

Take your eyes from mine

Boy don't you talk

Your way out

Of this one

Shake the sky's allure

Boy don't you walk

Your way out

Of this one



And this is what we came for

And this is what we died for

She's always aftertime



She's always aftertime

She's always aftertime

She's always aftertime

She's always aftertime



Take my love demure

Boy don't you walk

Your way out

Of this one



And this is what we came for

And this is what we died for



She's always aftertime

She's always aftertime

She's always afterime

She's always after



She's always aftertime

She's always aftertime

She's always aftertime

She's always after
