I had a dream last night
I watched you all survive
I woke up this morning, prepared to die
So darlings, if I die
Carry me, carry me home
Darlin', carry me home

Come one, come all 'cause this is it
Swan song for the malcontent
A dark horse that rides with the sunset
We're defiant darlings, we ain't giving in
Photographed, immortalise the moment
Should we die, put it on the caskets
Twenty-one guns fired into streetlights
Wear colour when we dance on the gravesite
I'm stained like you, should we wash it out?
Dirt under nails gimme character
Last chance, last call for a last round
Last chance, last call

Funeral parade, Scotch and French Champagne
Sing through the night till our hearts give out
Gimme one more night to feel alive

Carry me, carry me, carry me home
Dance through the graves, carry me home
Death has such a pretty face
Give me a kiss, oh, c'est la vie
Carry me, carry me, carry me home
Dance through the graves, carry me home
Darling, you're such a pretty face
Give me a kiss, blow me away

Oh, I've never been much of a partisan
Always been more partial to a harlequin
A forlorn life full of tragedy
But I see the funny side, ha-ha
So should we part our tragic lives
Here's cheers to you, and cheers to me
Oh, one more song of revelry
Sing with me now: Da, da, da-da

Carry me, carry me, carry me home
Dance through the graves, carry me home
Death has such a pretty face
Give me a kiss, oh, c'est la vie
Carry me, carry me, carry me home
Dance through the graves, carry me home
Darling, you're such a pretty face
Give me a kiss, blow me away

Spin this room
Pretty eyes, and mouth of gods
Wholly saved, and nothing lost
Do me this dance, if it's our last
Don't be afraid, come take my hands
My love is felt, but never said
So hear my words, and raise a glass

From the front, to the grave, does the wind blow?
Hear the call from the throats of the gallows
From the hearts of the lovers and the cutthroats
Won't kneel, won't die 'cause we've got hope
With hope we sing: Carry me home
Carry me, carry me, carry me home
No one left behind, oh, carry me
Carry me, carry me, carry me home, carry me, carry me

Carry me, carry me, carry me home
Dance through the graves, carry me home
Death has such a pretty face
Give me a kiss, oh, c'est la vie
Carry me, carry me, carry me home
Dance through the graves, carry me home
Darling, you're such a pretty face
Give me a kiss, blow me away
Carry me, carry me, carry me home
Dance through the graves, carry me home
Carry me, carry me, carry me home
And if I die
Dance through the graves, carry me home
Carry me, carry me, carry me home
Dance through the graves, carry me home
Carry me, carry me, carry me home
Dance through the graves, carry me home
Are you prepared to die?

From the front to the back
From the start to the end, we ask
Are you prepared to die?
Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da
And I had a dream last night
Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da
