What Comes After

Verse 1

Purple velvet couch

Diamond pinky weight

Got the ledger sorted

All my girls check in by eight

They smile when they see me

They never miss a date

Fur coats in the closet

Got a heart that's full of hate

Chorus

What comes after the gold

When the Cadillac is sold

I've been counting all my paper

But my soul is getting cold

What comes after the shine

When the evening starts to climb

All these diamonds on my fingers

But the man I was behind

Verse 2

She brings me Sunday breakfast

Says I'm looking tired

I've got enough for mansions

For everything I could desire

The bank calls me mister

The judge just looks away

But I'm staring at the ceiling

At three in the day

Pre-Chorus

Mm-hmm

Mm-hmm

The silk sheets feel like nothing

When you've got nothing to say

Chorus

What comes after the gold

When the Cadillac is sold

I've been counting all my paper

But my soul is getting cold

What comes after the shine

When the evening starts to climb

All these diamonds on my fingers

But the man I was behind

Bridge

I see her in the garden

Watering the roses at dawn

She doesn't ask me questions

She knows the man is gone

There's a photograph of someone

On the mantle by the door

Young kid with a cheap watch

Who didn't know what life was for

Instrumental

Chorus

What comes after the gold

When the Cadillac is sold

I've been counting all my paper

But my soul is getting cold

What comes after the shine

When the evening starts to climb

All these diamonds on my fingers

But the man I was behind
