Christel Vars - Bang ! lyrics

rate me

Let me tell you about this man

who wanted to live a very, very long life

so he never smoked, never drank,

only put healthy food in his mouth

he exercised regularly

he had this thing about jogging

well, i have to admit, at 33, he had a very nice body

that sunday morning, though,

his wife tried to hold him up in bed for a cuddle

so she started kissing him, nibbling his ear lobe

nothing would do

he put on his running gear

he put on his running shoes

then he started running, when

out of the blue

it came bang, bang, bang, bang on the door

he never saw the truck that hit him

but in the split second before he passed away,

he saw all the lives he'd never lived,

too scared to hurt his sacred body

all the parties he never went to

all the girls he never kissed

all the laughs he never had

the emotions he never felt

damn!

it came bang, bang, bang, bang on the door

now what can you tell me

who controls our fate

give us just a hint

and stop laughing

ant then there was this other man, same age,

lived his life to the full

parties, jumps, excesses of all kinds,

every day had to be special

but right before his heart took him away

he saw himself growing old

thought: man, it would have been so great

why wouldn't i just slow down

it came bang, bang, bang, bang on the door
