[English]

Oh dear, wanna turn the lights off

So, our horny souls can have some private time

When the morning comes with the bittersweet

You're just still no hero darling, to prove

Well hallelujah, it's a new day

We're a little closer

They're slippin' away, shadows stay on

If you're in love beneath the pain

What a pleasant sensation

Oh, why do everyone have to grow up?

Everyone want love, every bits and stone

Why do everyone have to grow up?

Wanna be free, wanna be free

Wanna get out, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Oh first song for the wounded

So it will be some on forevermore

Baby and morning comes with the rain for your

Bloody bath in it's about to give in

Oh, oh whoa, hallelujah, it's a miracle

They're slippin' away, shadows stay on

If you're in love beneath the pain

What a pleasant sensation

Oh, why do everyone have to grow up?

Everyone want love, every bits and stone

Why do everyone have to grow up?

Wanna be free, wanna be free

Wanna get out, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
