[English]

Look up here, I'm in Heaven

I've got scars that can't be seen

I've got drama, it can't be stolen

Everybody knows me now

Look up here, man, I'm in danger (I'm in danger, I'm in danger)

I've got nothing left to lose

And I'm so high, it makes my brain whirl

Dropped my cell phone down below

Ain't that just like me?

(Ain't that just like me?)

Ain't that just like me?

By the time I got to New York

Mm, I was living like a king

There, I used up all my money

I was looking for your ass

...

This way or no way

You know I'll be free

Just that like that bluebird

Oh, ain't that like me?

This way I know it

You know I was free

Just that like that bluebird

Oh, ain't that just like me

Oh, I'll be free

Just like that bluebird

Oh, I'll be free

Ain't that just like me

Look up here, I'm in Heaven, I'm in Heaven, I'm in Heaven

I've got scars that can't be seen (I've got scars)

I've got drama, it can't be stolen (it can't be stolen)

Everybody knows me now (knows me now)
