It’s a gunfight
Ring the alarm
This love life
Lost in your arms
You know I can’t sleep
I remember your eyes
Hip to the fact that we’re all gonna die
People cost a lot
People cost a lot
People got no soul
People got no goal
People live and die
People they just cry
They can’t see the passion
People cost a lot
It’s a gunfight
Ring the alarm
This love life
Lost in your arms
You know I can’t sleep
I remember your eyes
Hip to the fact that we’re all gonna die
No more war – No more war –
No more war – No more war
No more war – No more war – No more war
The rat race!
Forward advances
Wealthy and handsome
I turn on the beat just
To study the dancers
Your eyes are a river
You blink and I shiver
I regret being clever but
It’s just dreams I deliver
Content with the knowledge
That we dreamt it together
I loved you on paper but
Never sent you the letter
Your eyes are a river
You blink and I shiver
I regret being clever but
It’s just dreams I deliver
It’s a gunfight
Ring the alarm
This love life
Lost in your arms
You kow I can’t sleep
I remember your eyes
Hip to the fact that we’re all gonna die
