We had our hippest time   when it was unhip to be hip   we«ve quit things   when it was expensive to quit   we did the right things when the time and place were wrong   we«ve written a nice one   but never released that song      but in our lives and that«s for sure    nothing can be forseen or is static   and as far as i can see this car is no automatic      cause we«re born to slide away   you can see us stumble and fall day by day   cause we«re are born to slide away   and i hope it will go on day by day      Don«t get me wrong   i think we«ve loved the fruits of success   but we«ve never really learned the way to play this buisiness chess   oh how often i doubted   that the way is our true destination      but in our lives and that«s for sure    nothing can be foreseen or is static   and as far as i can see this car is no automatic      cause we«re born to slide away   you can see us stumble and fall day by day   cause we«re are born to slide away   and i hope it will go on day by day
