Lyrics
[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
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
[PreChorus]
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
The self-important faces
Are just laughing at the signs
And 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
And the sun is peeking out over all the tired faces
My friends were going out last night, and I still haven't heard from them
[PreChorus]
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
