Lyrics:

[English]

I've been losin' sleep

I've been keepin' myself awake

I've been wandering the streets

For days and days and days

Going from road to road

Bed to bed

Lover to lover

And black to red

But I believe

I believe

There's no salvation for me now

No space among the clouds

And I feel I'm heading down

But that's alright

That's alright

That's alright

That's alright

...

And I've been taking chances

I've been setting myself up for the fall

And I've been keeping secrets

From my heart and from my soul

Going from road to road

Bed to bed

Lover to lover

And black to red

But I believe

I believe

There's no salvation for me now

No space among the clouds

And I feel I'm heading down

But that's alright

That's alright

That's alright

That's alright

Road to road

Bed to bed

And lover to lover

And black to red

And road to road

Bed to bed

And lover to lover

...

No space among the clouds

And I feel I'm heading down

But that's alright

That's alright

That's alright

That's alright

That's alright

That's alright

Road to road

Bed to bed

And lover to lover

And black to red

And road to road

Bed to bed

Lover to lover

To lover, to lover

To lover, to lover

To lover, to lover

To lover, to lover

To lover, to lover

No salvation for me now

No salvation for me now

No salvation for me now

No salvation for me now

...
