I Can Make It If You Can - The Boomtown Rats

Somewhere a screen door slammed

Somewhere, someplace, somebody’s killing a man

Down the road I’m told five people died

And I wonder are you making love to anyone tonight.

Cos she and I, we’re still sitting here

Our eyes are dry but we’re bored to tears

She said lets talk about the future, lets forget about the past

Did I forget to tell you time never lasts,

Can I hold on that long

Is it worth the same old stringalong

There’s been a few rights but there’s plenty wrongs

I can make it if you can.

Don’t trust anything, especially love

Be careful of the broken bottles on the wall above.

They burn your brain and they tear at your mind

I know I won’t be making love to anyone tonight.

Cos she and I we’re still sitting here

Our eyes are dry but we’re bored to tears.

Don’t talk about the future, please don’t talk about the past

Lets forget about the present, it makes me want to laugh.
