Now we take our time, so nonchalant
And spend our nights so bon vivant
We dress our days in silken robes
The money comes
The money goes

We know it´s all a passing phase

We light our lamps for atmosphere
And hang our hopes on chandeliers
We´re going wrong, we´re gaining weight
We´re sleeping long and far too late
And so it´s time to change our ways
But I´ve loved these days

Now as we indulge in things refined
We hide our hearts from harder times
A string of pearls, a foreign car
Oh we can only go so far
On caviar and cabernet

We drown our doubts in dry champagne
And soothe our souls with fine cocaine
I don´t know why I even care

We´ll get so high and get nowhere
We´ll have to change our jaded ways
But I´ve loved these days

So before we end and then begin
We´ll drink a toast to how it´s been
A few more hours to be complete
A few more nights on satin sheets
A few more times that I can say
I´ve loved these days
