I'm feeling rough,
I'm feeling raw,
I'm in the prime of my life
Let's make some music,
make some money,
find some models for wives
I'll move to Paris,
shoot some heroin and * with the stars
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars
This is our decision, to live fast and die young
We've got the vision,
now let's have some fun
Yeah,
it's overwhelming,
but what else can we do?
Get jobs and offices and wake up for the morning commute
Forget about our mothers and our friends We're fated to pretend,
to pretend
We're fated to pretend,
to pretend
I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister,
miss my father,
miss my dog and my home
Yeah,
I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone
But there is really nothing,
nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten,
life can't always start up anew
The models will have children,
we get a divorce We'll find some more models,
everything must run its course
We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend,
to pretend We're fated to pretend,
to pretend
