lyrics

My grandma died at 84, her body just gave up. Lay in a coma for a week, and then her heart just stopped. Had a good life, man & kids, and so she died in peace. It was a matter of old age, she simply went to sleep. Peter died at 23, got smashed up by a truck. There was no reason for his death, just ran into bad luck. One moment he was full of life, the next his lights popped out. He'll never reach the aims he had, it makes me want to shout. I didn't know him very well, but I liked him a lot. I often met him in the pub where we would drink and talk. No time to say goodbye to him, that's why I wrote this song. It's my way to make amends, Peter, man, so long... (Word: Roelsel; Music : Pjotr/Rat Patrol)
