After breakfast, after school, afternoon, after work, after hours, morning after, aftermath, afterlife. Everything comes after. I bet you’re going to do something after reading this; you’re going to enjoy Afternoon Man. Maybe you’ll be enjoying it WHILE you’re reading this, but you started reading this after you got here. After you listen to it, you’ll probably listen to it again, or maybe the next song, but only after this song. You’ll probably eat something after you peep this album, and more than likely sleep at some point after. You’re always doing something after, never ever doing something before. You’ve done things before, but you’ll never be able to do them before, because they’ve already been done. Unless you do something before the thing you do after the thing you just did…and as long as you tell someone you’re going to do it before you do it. You know what I’m saying?
lyrics
It is 11:57
On the last gasp of the morning time
I don't need coffee
inside my body
I smoke myself blind
with a sniff of sunshine
Don't wake me up at 5 to 9 anymore
get out my room
I'm waking up around noon
Afternoon Man
laughter's comin'
He loves the seven wonders of the world
Afternoon Man
1 and 2 man
Hey man
I'm an Afternoon Man
Let's cook steak and
we'll make some bacon
I've got an oven
and we can cook it naked
All night long!
It comes in waves my love
It does come in waves my love
It comes in waves
It comes in waves my love
It does come in waves
I take a shower
for half an hour
I'm lookin' so fine
no I'm not even tryin'
Don't wake me up at 5 to 9 anymore
get out my room
I'm waking up around noon
Afternoon, Afternoon, Afternoon Man
Afternoon, Afternoon, Afternoon Man
Afternoon, Afternoon, Afternoon Man
Afternoon, Afternoon, Afternoon Man
What?
It comes in waves
Afternoon Man
