Mach's gut
Clueso Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

ich check ein und du checkst aus
wir war'n zu früh am selben gate
aufenthalt im gleichen haus
der eine kommt, der andere geht
passagiere sind nur besucher
vielleicht kommst du ja vom anderen kontinent

mach's gut, egal wohin du gehst
mach's gut, egal wohin es dich auch trägt

unter uns die erde
in 'nem vogel der nicht mit den flügeln schlägt
unbezwungene berge
alles klein was sich sonst groß versteht
passagiere sind nur besucher
vielleicht fliegst du gerad' über 'nen anderen kontinent





mach's gut, egal wohin du gehst
mach's gut, egal wohin es dich auch trägt
