well i woke up to the sound of silence and cries cutting like knives in a fist fight and i found you with a bottle of wine your head in the curtains and heart like the 4th of july you swore and said we are not we are not shining stars this i know cause i never said we are though i ve never been through hell like that i ve closed enough windows to know you can never look back if you re lost and alone or you re sinkin like a stone carry on may your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground carry on carry on carry on so i met up with some friends at the edge of the night at a bar off 75 and we talked and talked about how our parents will die all our neighbors and wives but i d like to think i can cheat it all to make up for the times i ve been cheated on and it s nice to know when i was left for dead i was found and i know not these streets i am not the ghost you want to be if you re lost and alone or you re sinkin like a stone carry on may your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground carry on ohhhhhhhhhhhhh my head is on fire but my legs are fine cause after all they are mine lay your clothes down on my floor close the door hold the phone show me how no one s ever gonna stop me tonight cause we are we are shining stars we are invincible we are who we are on our darkest day when we re miles away the sun will come we will find our way home if you re lost and alone or you re sinkin like a stone carry on may your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground carry on carry on carry on
