Neil Cicierega
The Afternoon
[Verse 1]
See the footprints in the cave?
I would follow them, if I were brave
To find out why there's no second set of
Footprints in the cave
In the attic of this house
On the wall behind a propped up couch
Is a door that somehow leads into
The basement of this house

[Chorus]
Oh, the less you hold out
More and more will fold out
Live for the afternoon
But oh, the more you grow up
Less and less will show up
Guess it's gotta blow up soon

[Verse 2]
If you take another look
In the workings of your pop up book
There's a secret message left there for you
Take another look
If you choose a place to dig
And you make a hole that's deep and big enough
You will find exactly what you need:
A place to dig
Yeah!
[Bridge]
Okay now
Okay, what?
Okay yeah

[Chorus]
Oh oh oh oh, the less you hold out
More and more will fold out
Live for the afternoon
But oh, the more you grow up
Less and less will show up
Guess it's gotta blow up soon
Ooh, the less you hold out
More and more will fold out
Live for the afternoon
But oh, the more you grow up
Less and less will show up
Guess it's gotta blow up soon
