I'm on the highway
And while driving I think
About everything that has happened
Last week

Such a week, you'll now say
It's not terribly long
Not much will happen
I say though

Lost a good job
Became redundant there
But that alone wouldn't have
Shocked me at all

I've started over several times
As far as my work is concerned
And this time I would have
Surely made it again

I go into the front door
It's only half past two
In the hallway I already smell
That someone is smoking

You have a neighbor there
He's wearing my bathrobe
Well, I won't need that
Anymore

Now nothing holds me back
I drive up the Brenner
Leave everything behind me
Just want to get away from you
Ahead is already Lake Garda
There it only hurts half as much

The road is free in front of me
I put on loud music
And I press as hard as I can
On the gas pedal

Want to get as far away as possible
From the whole madhouse
And wherever it takes me
I don't give a damn

During all this speeding
The last years pass by
And they were not
So bad

There were bad days too
Yes, that has to be sometimes
But overall, I was
Quite satisfied

Not too long ago
Yes, I was ready
Had already saved the money
For a nice ring

But I guess I don't need it anymore
Because the man from the ground floor
Has his fingers in this story
Now too

You weren't even shocked
As if nothing had happened
You reacted quite casually
As if you weren't interested at all

I've arrived at Lake Garda

It probably still hurts for a while
