Alles endet [aber nie die Musik] [English translation]

[Verse 1]

We can do everything, and we can be everything --

Lost boys: Too much time, too much wine.

Spinning laps around town,

Hours go by like a year.

We never looked for trouble

Until it found us.

Still, we dance as though no one's looking,

Laugh as if everyone loves it,

Sing without knowing the lyrics,

And party like there's no tomorrow.1

Adrenaline, pulse at 45 RPM;

Probably going to hell,

But in the best sense.

See the factory chimneys...

[Refrain 1]

Everything ends except music!

They just want to play,

Let 'em play! (2x)

Where the good boys in bad places,

Hopeless, carefree, bloody-nosed at 6 AM

Play

To the beat.

Everything ends except music, (2x)

Everything ends, (3x)

But music never [does]!

[Verse 2]

One went too soon, then one had kids,

One goes in and out ... it's always something.

One went into the army, the rest are gone, experiencing the world;

I'm still doing the music-thing, I'm rarely there...

There where, ablaze in the middle of nowhere,

Close to the edge of insanity, love is found in the disco rest-room,

Night after night, skirts as scant as their brains,

Move, tiger-lady, make us weak beat by beat.

See, they're kneeling in the rest-room stalls...

[Refrain 2]

Everything ends except music!

They just want to play,

Let 'em play! (2x)

Where the good girls in bad places,

Hopeless, carefree, bloody-nosed at 6 AM

Snort

To the beat.

Everything ends except music, (2x)

Everything ends, (3x)

But music never [does]!

[Refrain 3]

Everything ends except music! (4x)

We just want to play!

Let us play! (2x)

Where the good kids in bad places,

Hopeless, carefree, bloody-nosed at 6 AM,

Escape

To the beat.

Everything ends except music, (2x)

Everything ends, (3x)

But music never [does]!

1. Literally, "As if there's no end".
