lyrics

You grew up in the backstreets of misery
with a sparkle in your heart
Used to roam on the streets being a lower thief
fighting to survive

With a talent gifted by the gods
the belief in your own will
working hard to get out this agony
heading out for the world

But in times like these you ask yourself
what it's like on the other side
if only you could turn the page again

When you danced on the screens, another pirouette
invincible to the bone
untouchable for the living man
bigger than life you were

Celebrated, glorified
sadness in your eyes
In a heartbeat defeat you were sacrificed
from the top of the world

But in times like these you ask yourself
what it's like on the other side
if only you could turn the page again

Carry on, oh carry on
carry on, carry on
Carry on, oh carry on, carry on
carry on, oh carry on

Carry on the torch lit by the stars
Carry on the weight
Lose yourself in drugs and fantasies
Die for peoples' dreams
Live on in peoples' dreams

But in times like these you ask yourself
what it's like on the other side
if only you could turn the page again
if only you could turn the page again
if only you could turn the page again
