Lyrics

After Party

I want it all, I want it here
Some satisfaction that won't disappear
Dissipate, you said you're sorry
It's too late

On all fours, wanting more
You can leave the lights on
You like to leave the lights on
Always on the right one

And didn't you know?
That after the show
There's an after party
Didn't you know?
That after the show
There's an after party

Oiled-up, rubber gloves
Leather whip swinging from your hip
It's all taboo when I'm with you
It's all to win, it's all to lose
You only learn from your mistakes
Made of glass made to break
Fluctuate between what you love and what you hate

You always tried to tell me
That it comes around
But I'm not sure, baby
I'm not sure, if what I want
Can be found

You always tried to tell me
That it comes around
But I'm not sure, baby
I'm not sure, if what I want
Can be found

I always hesitate between
Who I am and who I ain't
You're the only one I'll take
Any time, anywhere
You're the only one who makes me wait
Would it be this good if it was fair?
Lean a little closer, baby, that's a dare

What I want can be found
And that's with you
I lie so much, you know I mean it when I tell the truth
Promise you, that this is real
Can't you feel? This is real
Can't you feel it?

And didn't you know?
That after the show
There's an after party
Didn't you know?
That after the show
There's an after party

You always tried to tell me
That it comes around
But I'm not sure baby
I'm not sure, if what I want
Can be found

You always tried to tell me
That it comes around
But I'm not sure, baby
I'm not sure, if what I want
Can be found
