it's time to tear this place down
i've got the last gig on my mind
not seen my friends in ages
it's time to figure out why
with each and every question
i don't know why and i don't know what for
i've seen the picture for myself
i tried it out but it didn't work so
i'll choose the picture for myself
it's time to start all over
take only one thing spare to wear
head for the check-in lights and get up into the air
it's time to take new measures
someone will put us up tonight
far from our place of rest
i've almost got you in sight
i don't know why and i don't know what for
i've seen the picture for myself
i tried it out but it didn't work so
i'll choose the picture for myself
first class and big hotels
free drinks that you pay yourself
i don't know why and i don't know what for
i've seen the picture for myself
i tried it out but it didn't work so
i'll choose the picture for myself
