Can you make it on your own?   Can you take it by the throat?   Make your own luck, learn the skills   Get in early for the kill      It carries on      Pick up the weapon   Marry it, give it your name   Define yourself by it   Take it down the disco      It carries on      Trigger happy, pullin' power   Lady killer, take them out   See the weirdos on the hill   Come to get you if you stand still      It carries on      Somewhere in history you were wronged   Teach your children to bang the drum   Tell all your family, tell all your friends   Teach your brothers to avenge      It carries on      Or you could love   Or you could love   Or you could love   You could love, you could love      Lie down in the flowers   In the blue of the air   Open your eyes   Why use up your life for anything else?      No need to fight for what everyone has   What do you need?   It's already there, it's already there   It's already there, it's already there      You could love, you colud love   You could love      So he carried the stars in his pocket   He drank the sunrise till he was drunk   He embraced the angels   They swam like little minnows in his blood      Ghosts in his eyes, out walking beside him   Laughing like children in his mind   They chanted his mantra together   Together, together, together      You could love, you could love   You could love      You were happy
