[Verse 1]
It is only love I feel
That will give us peace of heart
In my hour of desperate need
I feel closer to the one
Oh, but why

[Hook]
Please, human being
If you bleed they will say that it's destined
They'll be punching tickets by the minute
If you fall out of line
Desperate, desperate

[Verse 2]
Tell me, is it death you feel
That will bring you peace of life?
Who won?
Tell me, who won this?
Tell me, who won?
Tell me, who won this?
Tell me, who won?
When you lose your self-esteem
That's when love dies

[Hook]
Oh, please human being
If you bleed they will say that it's destined
They'll be punching tickets by the minute
If you butt out of life
We're mere human beings ,we die
(So) desperate, (so) desperate

[Verse 3]
Well, I feel
When you reach number one
You look like you're bluffing
But really you'll be blocking the Sun
Blocking the Sun
Blocking the Sun
Blocking the Sun

[Outro]
We're mere human beings
We die
It's destined
They'll be punching tickets by the minute
You fall out of life
We're mere human beings, we die
We're mere human beings, we die
Desperate
It's destined
We're mere human beings, we die
Desperate
It's destined, destined
