fun. - Carry On (new song from Some Nights) live at The Glass House, Pomona

This song was played at the Pomona show on 21 April, and then again acoustic on 22 April in San Fran. This is the full version. I've jotted down what I make out to be the lyrics from the two shows...

Beautiful song - can't wait for the record!!!


When I woke up to the sound of sirens
The cars were 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 Fourth of July

You swore and said
You and I
We are not shining stars
This I know
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 sinking 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 neighbours and wives

But I 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 now I don't roam these streets
??? I am not the ghost you want of me

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on

Woooh
My head is on fire
But my legs are fine
But after all they are mine
????
I was down on the floor
Close the door
Hold the phone
Show me how
No one's ever going to stop us now

Cause here we are
We are shining stars
We are invincible
We are who we are
On our darkest day
When we are miles away
Clouds will roll
So we'll come
We will find our way home

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on

Carry on, carry on.
Carry on, carry on.
Carry on, carry on.
Carry on, carry on.
Carry on, carry on.

i was there! it was called the 80s

[ElGoodo]

Wow, this song is amazing. I've been waiting for a second album since I heard the first, I was interested to see how they would follow up such an amazing, theatrical record. So far the results have been amazing, songs seem a little less "progressive" more simple song structures, but it's no less brilliant.
