About one and a half years ago I recorded the main instrumental part and I had the idea about "Dying with a smile" in my mind but also no idea for the lyrics.So it was an unfinished instrumental track for a long time.The last days I wrote the lyrics while I was thinking about some very special persons in my life who definitely live or
lived their life that way the song describes.

Wake up this morning,don`t know what time it is
the Sun is shining bright
I got that special taste in my mouth
Oh what a night
A cup of coffee that`s what I need
better two or three
Look at my mail,hm only bills
I pay next week,we will see

Chorus:
I want it all,I got it all
Take everything that I need
Who cares today about tommorow
Live is great indeed
I like to drink,I like blue smoke
What does the doctor know about live
If I go ,it ain`t no joke
I`m dying with a smile

Am I sane,am I serious
oh yes I am
definitely,maybe
I do what I want cause I can
Am I awake or do I sleep
maybe live is a dream
And everything all around
isn`t what it seems

Just because it tastes so fine
I love to drink a bottle of wine
and a second one,hm so sweet
can`t be bad that`s what I need
Mom always says "Oh my dear,
how can one man drink so much beer"
Don`t worry about the juice of the hop-flower
it makes me strong and it gives me power

Whenever live is treating me
Whenever I am sad
I enjoy the taste of alcohol
it helps me to forget
All my problems and everything
whatever gets me down
Is far away and I am happy
at least for a few hours.

How long can I go on,to live that life
How long can I resist,how long will I survive
It`s just a matter of time,listen what I say
I know I`ll be drunk,on my last day

Chorus 2x
