and when i'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn / rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice / just know that i'm looking down on you smiling / and i didn't feel a thing, so baby don't feel no pain / just smile back / and when i'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn / rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice / just know that i'm looking down on you smiling / and i didn't feel a thing, so baby don't feel no pain / just smile back

take me out tonight / where there's music and there's people who are young and alive / driving in your car / i never, never want to go home / because i haven't got one anymore / take me out tonight / because i want to see people / and i want to see life / driving in your car / oh, please, don't drop me home / because it's not my home, it's their home and i'm welcome no more / and if a double-decker bus crashes into us / to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die / and if a ten ton truck kills the both of us / to die by your side / well, the pleasure, the privilege, is mine / take me out tonight / take me anywhere / i don't care, don't care, i don't care / and in the darkened underpass / i thought, oh, god, my chance has come at last / but then a strange fear gripped me / and i just couldn't ask / take me out tonight / oh, take me anywhere / i don't care, i don't care, i don't care / driving in your car / i never, never want to go home / because i haven't got one / no, i haven't got one / and if a double-decker bus crashes in to us / to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die / and if a ten ton truck kills the both of us / to die by your side / well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine / there is a light that never goes out / there is a light that never goes out / there is a light that never goes out / there is a light that never goes out //

If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs. And maybe your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery, isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance. Of how much you really want to do it. And you'll do it, despite rejections in the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods. And the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.
