Lyrics After the Laughter - American Angel

After the Laughter

You see the dreams that I’m holding
Tightly gripped within my hands I preserve
So hard you’re trying to wonder
What can be so precious you don’t deserve
So near you’re getting so close now
You just can’t grasp it in a rapid decline
You think you’ve got it all sewn up
You made the bed that you sleep in
I don’t want what you’ve got
But I know that you want what I’m after
In your drowning pool you command a ship of fools
It’s too late now to stop all the hate now
After the laughter
Time is forever on my side
I can spend it anyway that I choose
Eternal fixture in paradise
I passed the test and, yes, I’ve paid all my dues
No more living the past now
Once it’s ignored it doesn’t matter what’s said
Too bad, you never did change your luck
'Cause nothing matters once you’ve placed all your bets
I don’t want what you’ve got
But I know that you want what I’m after
In your drowning pool you command a ship of fools
It’s too late now to stop all the hate now
After the laughter
Ooh, baby, ooh, baby, oh, yeah!
I don’t want what you’ve got
But I know that you want, yeah
Oh-oh-oh…
In your drowning pool you command a ship of fools
It’s too late now to stop all the hate now
After the laughter
I don’t want what you’ve got
But I know that you want what I’m after
In your drowning pool you command a ship of fools
It’s too late now to stop all the hate now
After the laughter
