[Chorus]
The world is spinning madly
Seeing kaleidoscopic lights
And it’s like we’ve all been hypnotized
As we’re drifting off to paradise

[Verse 1]
Well, I used to go by Johnny but now you can call me Jackie O
Uh-huh, walking in stilettos, breaking down the walls like Jericho
Today I woke up crying, so I went into a church to pray
They said, “Excuse me but you’ll have to leave or we’re calling security”
[Pre-Chorus]
The headlines got us thinking that we’re all gonna die
Then convince us that we have to buy a ticket for the afterlife

[Chorus]
Well, the world is spinning madly
Seeing kaleidoscopic lights
And it’s like we’ve all been hypnotized
As we’re drifting off to paradise
And the self-important faces
Are just laughing at the signs
The Coliseum’s empty
I guess I’ll see you in the afterlife

[Verse 2]
Well, it’s European summer and the skies are looking kinda mean
Well, I’m thinking of a holiday, what’s the weather like in Kiev?
(Uh, uh) And the sun is peeking out over all the tired faces
Well, my friends were going out last night and I still haven’t heard from them

[Pre-Chorus]
The headlines got us thinking that we’re all gonna die
Then convince us that we have to sell our ticket for the afterlife

[Bridge]

I guess I’ll see you in the afterlife
I guess I’ll see you in the afterlife

[Chorus]
The self-important faces
Are just laughing at the signs
And the Coliseum’s empty
I guess I’ll see, I guess I’ll see you in the afterlife
