Achterbahn
Rollercoaster
Everybody wants me to plant a tree, or to build a house1
They want to be able to count on me, like if I was going by a countdown
They want me to act mature, not just be looking at beautiful ladies
To do some more exercise, in order to prevent the physical decay
They want me to do what everybody does, 'Come on, why don't you do a trip around the world?'
To sit down and write great hits for the money
My parents want to have grandchildren to rock them on their knees
Make sure it all keeps going on
I say 'Hello!' and greet from the rollercoaster
And I feel alright, 'cause it all feels just fine
'Cause I'm still cruisin' without following a scheme, after all those years
And I feel alright, 'cause it all feels just fine
They want me to live by a scheme, or raise my arm
So they can support me like an armrest
They want me to be flexible and competent
Drive my weaker self out of me
That I should look at my future, as if I saw it in a cristal ball
To retain some savings, because of the world and all its turmoil
Should find a meaning in my life and not be bragging all the time
Because I am supposed be one of those who are destined to make it
I say 'Hello!' and greet from the rollercoaster
And I feel alright, 'cause it all feels just fine
'Cause I'm still cruisin' without following a scheme, after all those years
And I feel alright, 'cause it all feels just fine
Ride without a scheme
Ride without a scheme
After all those years still riding without a scheme
Come on, let me
Ride without a scheme
Ride without a scheme
I want to keep
Riding without a scheme after all those years
I want to
Ride without a scheme
Ride without a scheme
I want to keep
Riding without a scheme after all those years
Ride without a scheme
Ride without a scheme
After all those years still riding without a scheme
I say 'Hello!' and greet from the rollercoaster
And I feel alright, 'cause it all feels just fine
'Cause I'm still cruisin' without following a scheme, after all those years
And I feel alright, 'cause it all feels just fine
