The Phrase That Pays

English translation

My eyes can't believe what they have seen

In the corner of your room you've stockpiled millions of my memories

Oh Doctor, Doctor, I must have gotten this sick somehow

I'm going to ask you a series of questions

And I want them answered on the spot, right now

Is it serious?

"I'm afraid it is"

Am I gonna die?

"Well son, death is gonna catch up to all one day

But yours is coming quicker than ours, than ours"

Some things I may have taken for granted again and again

Well here's what was said then

Hold your head high heavy heart

So take a chance and make it big

'Cause it's the last you'll ever get

If we don't take it, when will we make it?

I make plans to break plans

And I've been planning something big planning something big, planning

I've never tried to make the best of my time

When I thought that I had plenty of it

Is this serious?

I don't know what to think

Is it all a lie?

Well one thing is for sure

I'm taken back to the glory days

When we were kids without a brash or bitter thing to say

Now my life is one big make it, or break it

Hold your head high heavy heart

Save your strength for the morning after

So take a chance and make it big

Cause it's the last you'll ever get

If we don't take it, when will we make it?

I make plans to break plans

And I've been planning something big planning something big

So take a chance and make it big

Cause it's the last you'll ever get

If we don't take it, when will we make it?

I make plans to break plans

And I've been planning something big planning something big, planning
