Lyrics

It's the same old SOS

But with brand new broken fortunes And once again I turn to you Once again I do, I turn to you

It's the same old SOS But with brand new broken fortunes I am the same underneath But this you... ...You surely knew?

Life is a pigsty Life is a pigsty Life is a pigsty Life is a pigsty Life, life is a pigsty Life, life is a pigsty Life, life is a pigsty Life is a pigsty

And if you don't know this Then what do you know? Every second of my life I only live for you And you can shoot me And you can throw me off a train But I still maintain... ...I still maintain

Life, life is a pigsty Life is a pigsty

And I've been shifting gears all along my life But I'm still the same underneath This you surely knew? I can't reach you I can't reach you I can't reach you anymore Can you please stop time? Can you stop the pain? I feel too cold And now I feel too warm again Can you stop this pain? Can you stop this pain?

Even now, in the final hour of my life I'm falling in love again, again Even now, in the final hour of my life I'm falling in love again, again... Again... Again...

I'm falling in love again, again... Again... Again...
