A Few Words For The Dead

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

Trigger happy

Pulling power

Ladykiller

Take em out

See the weirdos

On the hill

Come to get you

If you stand still

It carries on..

Somewhere in history

You were wronged

Raise 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...

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

You could love

So he carried the stars in his pocket

He drank the sunrise till 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

"you could love"

They were happy.
