Hospital Ships Carry On lyrics

To all of the women that I've ever loved:
When I was with you, I would say that I was better off
But you were never mine to begin with, all right.
And when I'm gone, carry on, carry on.

To all of my friends with whom I get fucked up:
We will laugh ;til we cry and we'll drink 'til we're drunk
But the world is reborn while we sleep it off
And in the dawn, carry on, carry on.

To all of the songs that I wish I had sung:
You will ring in my ears until my days are done (and you're lost)

But someone will find you, someone always does
To sing along, sing on, sing on.

When I'm gone, carry on, carry on.

Well, the world doesn't care if you're in it or not
Just a little point of steel into the beast you were shot
But the whale's going to dive; he will pull the lines taut
And when you're gone, carry on, carry on.
