Summer Days - Karl Wolf

I work my ass off every day and night. 
and as I watched my life passing by 
there's one thing that saves my youth, summer days summer nights in Beirut 
I'm cheating death with every puff i take 
just to forget that I'm only great 
there's one thing that saves my youth summer days, summer nights in Beirut. 

It was a clear summer day in '72 
Beirut was the place to do 
before the war it was best, 
they all rushed down from the west 

When violence was nowhere round 
my old man was the coolest in town 
I'm so glad that he's still around 
when he sits me down to say 

summer days, summer nights in Beirut [x4] 

I work my ass off every day and night. 
and as I watched my life passing by 
there's one thing that saves my youth, summer days summer nights in Beirut 
I'm cheating death with every puff I take 
just to forget that I'm only great 
there's one thing that saves my youth summer days, summer nights in Beirut. 

Try to live and struggle our only hope 
we were younger, played beside the house 
and touched the coal 
I know now everyone must fail, before they win 
son remember how I used to hold u in the wind 
and ever since than I work my ass off every day and night. 
and as I watch my life passing by 
there's one thing that saves my youth, summer days summer nights in Beirut 
I'm cheating death with every puff I take 
just to forget that I'm only great 
there's one thing that saves my youth summer days, summer nights in Beirut
