Lyrics:

[English]

I got a bad disease

Out from my brain is where I bleed

Insanity it seems

Has got me by my soul to squeeze

With all the love from me

With all the dyin' trees, I scream

The angels in my dream, yeah

Had turned to demons of greed, that's mean

Where I go, I just don't know

I got to, got to, gotta take it slow

When I find my peace of mind

I'm gonna give you some of my good time

Today love smiled on me

He took away my pain, said, "Please"

"I'll let your ride be free"

"You gotta let it be, oh, yeah"

Where I go, I just don't know

I got to, gotta, gotta take it slow

When I find my peace of mind

I'm gonna give ya some of my good time

...

Yeah!

...

Oh, so polite indeed

Well, I got everything I need

I'll make my days a breeze

And take away my self-destruction

It's bitter baby and it's very sweet

Holy rollercoaster, but I'm on my feet

Take me to the river, let me on your shore

I'll be comin' back maybe, I'll be comin' back for more

Doo-doo dingle zing a dong bone

Ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone bad

I could not forget, but I will not endeavor

Simple pleasures are much better but I won't regret it never

Where I go, I just don't know

I got to, got to, gotta take it slow

When I find my peace of mind

I'm gonna give you some of my good time

Where I go, I just don't know

I might end up somewhere in Mexico

When I find my peace of mind

I'm gonna keep ya for the end of time
