--
Life has spoiled me like no one else
I had it easy, I had fun
Indulging in excesses
Without ever paying too much attention
I've circled the globe ten times
In trucks or jumbo jets
Whether in Brussels or Candiac
I had hell of a lot of fun

I've sung in the biggest halls
From Paris to Montreal
I've enjoyed the warmth
Of glory and its spotlights

But one day life catches up with us
Like an 18-wheeler hitting us
Youth surrenders, tired of war
Under the weight of passing years
Health in slow fade
I search in vain for a glimmer
A little ray to hold onto
In the cracks of a past glory

I don't want your pity or anything else
My life was much cooler than yours
But my worn-out body
Seeks mercy

Tonight it's the shadow of myself
Quietly leaving the stage
Gently setting down the microphone
Tonight it's the shadow of myself
Quietly leaving the stage
To cross over to the other side of the curtain

Is this the end of the show?
I think it's indeed the end of the show
Karl, is this the end of the show?
Yes, we're at the end of the show...

So that's it
We've reached this point
I wouldn't have taken more
It's already the terminus
I, who have loved life so much
It's all over...

I'm tired
I can't sing anymore
I've had enough
And my heart's not in it
I've reached the very end
Of my road

My star is dying
The curtain falls
Tonight the old singer
Has given his last show...

Close the follow and the lights
No, I no longer need to be illuminated
I exit through the back door
Quietly tip-toeing into the Universe

I could say
With a smile
Ok! All right!
I had a really good ride
And I have no regrets
But it's not entirely true

Because in the end
I will have hurt myself
Burning my wings
As much as the candle
Often my instinct for death
Was stronger

In my overgrown mind
I dream of rest
No more hope on display
I have given my final show

Close the follow and the lights
No, I no longer need to be illuminated
I exit through the back door
Quietly launching into the Universe

---------------------

What comes after the end of the show?
Is it cool or is it radio silence?
What comes after the end of the show?

Farewell brothers in tears and blood
Or should I say to nothingness?
Because at the end of the show
There's nothing on the other side of the curtain
No organized journey
In an illuminated tunnel
No heaven or hell
All that stuff is just stupidity

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS AT THE END OF THE SHOW!
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS AT THE END OF THE SHOW!

Whether extraordinary or ordinary
Every life ends the same way
It's the only..
