being close to [bad word] of blood
but a normal guy in the neighbourhood
being part of the game
sometimes it's a shame
doing things against conviction
it's a [bad word] with open eyes walking the line
the walk of life seems to be fine
- but how long will it last?
when will i have to pull down the mask?

a high price to the devil to pay
but the [bad word] will have its say
it's a necessary evil
no chance for retrieval
i'm liked by people who don't know
the time [bad word] i've got to go
they'll be sad and in distress
it will be good,will be a mess
- so how long will it last?
when will i have to pull down the mask?

but now i'm here and i will stay
i will wait till i've got to pay
will i be sad or maybe glad
it's half of all i've ever had
is it a chance for a new start?or will it be much too hard?

will i stay strong or capitulate?
will the new freedom be great?
-is it a freedom i can affard?
time of life is much too short...

sailing close to the win

it may end with a better grin
but life's boring without any sin
