Serenade a tune to all my
troubles and fears,
Singing till the sun is setting
down on them all.
Singing, goodbye, goodbye,
surely in deed.
I'm a sinking ship,
but I still know how to breathe.

Certainly misfortunes knows
well the misfortunate.
How could anymore misfortunes
follow me now?
I don't have anymore tears
to cry about problems keeping me down.
I just paint a smile,
laughing about it just like a clown.

Dancing away till I lose my steps,
misstep my reasons to worry.
Even knowing the entire future,
makes counting down the days you have left.
I'm in no rush to my death,
why should I hurry.

If the Heavens above me,
want me knocking at the gates till noon,
They'll send me a ticket,
if they want me arriving home soon.

So let me sing a tune,
caring not of the world's troubles.
One day it may crash and tumble,
But it shouldn't take me down
that glorious rumble.
