Can't Carry On

Crowded House · Crowded House [1986]

Why do I kid myself, why do I scream for pleasure

It's four in the morning, should know better

But she can weave a spell, want it to last forever

Making me feel like somebody special



Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)

Before it gets too late (just go to sleep)

Doing damage to my brain (just go to sleep)

Well, here we go again



Though I look everywhere, I never seem to find it

Always a shadow around a corner

Drown it in alcohol, stuck in the elevator

Hard to remember in the morning



Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)

Before it gets too late (just go to sleep)

Doing damage to my brain (just go to sleep)

Well, here we go again



Tell you about myself if you're in the mood to listen

Baby, you don't know who you're kissing

This is a lonely world, you are a strange companion

When you get what you wanted, you want to leave



Honestly, I want to free myself from the burden of inaction

Honestly, I want to raise myself to any plane I can imagine

Honestly, I want to free myself from the burden of inaction

Honestly, I want to raise myself to any plane I can imagine



Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)

Before it gets too late

Doing damage to my brain (just go to sleep)

Well, here we go again



(Just go to sleep) I want to free myself

(Just go to sleep) I want to raise myself
