I could start with "greetings all",
I could quote from the Berlin wall
I could pretend and deny his fall
if I wanted to

I could be beggin' on my knees
I could deform the sign of peace
I could climb the highest trees
if I wanted to

I could be silent, I could be loud
I could be blushin', I could be proud
I could turn myself inside out
if I wanted to

I could grieve for the singer's death
I could be enjoyin' his music instead
I could wear his empty head
if I wanted to

Only if I wanted to
only if I wanted to
a million things that I could to
if I wanted to

I could be chained to the colour-tv
that wouldn't be so hard for me
but I could be readin' psalm 23
if I wanted to

I could write a number-one hit
if I'd only put my mind to it
and then I could be so full of it
if I wanted to

Only if I wanted to
only if I wanted to
a million things that I could to
if I wanted to

I could assume, I could trace
I could follow or set the pace
out in the open or in a haze
if I wanted to

I could be a sparrow, I could be a snail
I could be a hammer, I could be a nail
I could pay for this or go to jail
if I wanted to

Only if I wanted to
only if I wanted to
a million things that I could to
if I wanted to
