Would you check this up for meΒ ?
It's your credit card to live
Haven't you got have one of these? Don't tell me!

So your walking by your self,
In a world with a gold smell…
…what you're calling gold is shit for me, then
I'll paint you there, cuz I know your life
Stop havin' fun, cuz there's nothing but cries
And fake yourself in a brand new sky
Stop havin' fun cuz there's nothing but cries
Stop havin' fun

Now you car is spick and span
Nothing more to fill a man
…I prefer to take care of my brain now

And you're running by yourself
In a world with a new smell
…what you're calling new is shit for me, then

I'll paint you there, cuz I know your life
Stop havin' fun, cuz there's nothing but cries
And fake yourself in a brand new sky
Stop havin' fun cuz there's nothing but cries
Stop havin' fun

And feel forsaken
And feel forsaken and ungrown

Well you can beg me now me now, you keep me now
But I won't,

I won't stay because

Bathing in the air
So aloud I can hear my name
No shame of this cuz I'm proud




And I know the time has come
… havin' fun!
