Aftermath (Version 1) Lyrics by Tricky

Maxinquaye (Reincarnated)

0

(Let me tell you about my mother)

For once, there's someone
For he, for she
For once, there's someone
For he, for me

Your eyes resemble mine
You see as no others can
Here inherit my kingdom
Speak of our people's plan
I'll be here for my baby
For my baby, I'll be near
So many things I need to tell you
Things you need to hear

It was a day like no other
Clock said morn
It was said they dropped the bomb
And I walked out the door
Feeling lonely, isolated
Thinking of what was once
So I go in search of people
I saw a living inhabitant
The air is filled with chemicals
So this is the aftermath
Walking over rubble
Which was once the closest caf'
Down to the center
Which used to be Central

So this is the aftermath

For once, there's someone
For he, for she
For once, there's someone
For he, for me

Your eyes resemble mine
You see as no others can
Here inherit my kingdom
Speak of our people's plan
I'll be here for my baby
For my baby, I'll be near
So many things I need to tell you
Things you need to hear

For once, there's someone
For he, for she
For once, there's someone
For he, for me

How can I
How can I

It was a day like no other
Clock said morn
It was said they dropped the bomb
And I walked out the door
Feeling lonely, isolated
Thinking of what was once
So I go looking for people
