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.
