Ah
Ah-ah
This is a story
Of failure and glory
Based in town
In the south in the 1980s
Where should I begin?
Please come in
Where were you lately?
He said with a smile: In a while
It's an illusion
It's all an illusion
This is my conclusion
For now
It's all an illusion
This is my conclusion
This is my conclusion
For now
I remember the crowd
They were loud
And it was something
When you took control
Of my soul
Then it was nothing
It's all an illusion
This is my conclusion
For now
It's all an illusion
This is my conclusion
This is my conclusion
For now
Where should I begin?
Please come in
Where were you lately?
He said with a smile: In a while
It's an illusion
It's all an illusion
This is my conclusion
For now
It's all an illusion
This is my conclusion
This is my conclusion
For now
Ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
