We didn't get the mortgage
because we didn't manage to save up
the minimum amount after all
part of our savings seemed to disappear on their own
Keep your eyes closed when we go off at full speed
the kids are sleeping in the back seat
not even the stars in the sky light up the dark road ahead
I take us to the last bend
farewell, you cruel earth
we couldn't go on any longer
you may forget us now
if we didn't pay enough
Isn't any less enough
maybe soon they'll make us
pay even for the air we breathe
Somebody really thinks that's just life
Keep your eyes closed when we go off at full speed
the kids are sleeping in the back seat
not even the stars in the sky light up the dark road ahead
I take us to the last bend
farewell, you cruel earth
we couldn't go on any longer
you may forget us now
if we didn't pay enough
We did it all wrong
or maybe there was no right way
something just made the walls tumble down
all that's left is the empty feeling
when you lose at life
Keep your eyes closed when we go off at full speed
the kids are sleeping in the back seat
not even the stars in the sky light up the dark road ahead
I take us to the last bend
farewell, you cruel earth
we couldn't go on any longer
you may forget us now
if we didn't pay enough
