Christel Vars Bang ! Lyrics

Let me tell you about this man
who wanted to live a very, very long life
so he never smoked, never drank,
only put healthy food in his mouth
he exercised regularly
he had this thing about jogging
well, i have to admit, at 33, he had a very nice body
that sunday morning, though,
his wife tried to hold him up in bed for a cuddle
so she started kissing him, nibbling his ear lobe
nothing would do

he put on his running gear
he put on his running shoes
then he started running, when
out of the blue

it came bang, bang, bang, bang on the door

he never saw the truck that hit him
but in the split second before he passed away,
he saw all the lives he'd never lived, too scared to hurt his sacred body

all the parties he never went to
all the girls he never kissed
all the laughs he never had
the emotions he never felt
damn!

it came bang, bang, bang, bang on the door

now what can you tell me
who controls our fate
give us just a hint
and stop laughing

ant then there was this other man, same age,
lived his life to the full
parties, jumps, excesses of all kinds,
every day had to be special
but right before his heart took him away
he saw himself growing old
thought: man, it would have been so great
why wouldn't i just slow down

it came bang, bang, bang, bang on the door
