[English]

My God, it's going way too far

It's like it's further than we started

A hundred miles I think we are

The sun leaves wounds, I paint to scars

So when it's all done, will it be fun?

Remedy one, 'til I'm outrun again

Could it be fun if my hands are too tied to run?

Shame on me

Shame on me

Shame on me

For thinking it's better

Shame on me

Shame on me

Shame on me

For thinking it's better

...

So when it's all done, will it be fun?

Remedy one, 'til I'm outrun again

Could it be fun if my hands are too tied to run?

...
