Sweetheart, get dressed, I'll fetch you in 5 minutes
The best is just good enough, because today is the last day
You say goodbye to Mum, I brought you flowers
Outside a blue sky, birds are singing in the park
Do we want to rock beds in the Ritz?
Take the presidental suite?
Until it gives off clouds of smoke and the bedpost are bending
Or we take a couple of exquisite drugs, take off -
Maybe you can already see the paradise from above
Last chance for a jump in Acapulco
I'll write an opera fast, baby, and stand at the lectern
Last act, me in a tailcoat, the ochestra play in the rhythm
I direct like crazy, you are the queen of the night
Let's not talk about tomorrow
Words can't save us, soon everything won't be important anymore
We can forget the sorrows
Let's eat cakes in barrels
Try champagne brands and try
To strike the stars with the corks
chorus:
Beautiful life, beautiful world
Until the sky falls on our head
The earth is shot, sweety, come and give me your hand
You, me, all dance with backs to the walls
We throw the last hot champagne-party in town
orgies at the pool, handstand at the basin's brim
And the last cannonball battle in finest clothes
You in your evening dress, me in the finest trousers
There's ostrich en brochette, shark in aspic
With chateau lafitte and caviar out of the can
Hand me your glas - it could be fuller
The hangover will be alright without attention
All are going crazy and make confetti out of money
And ignite rockets with 100 Dollar bills
We need no sleep, stay awake till the end
We only have a plan A, dance on the volcano until it goes off
Swining arm in arm through the starlit night
Every sorrow melts from the shoulders like warm wax
Let's slowly go home together
And look into each other's eyes for a long time once more
I'll say everything now that I never told you
Give me a kiss - then the last day is dawning
