What's with this life I'm living?
Can't seem to drive it fast enough
The sign says it's clear and easy, but I'm
In a jam and it's getting rough
Money, money that's all I'm hearing
They say it'll take me anywhere
But I can't take it with me
Can't even take my underwear...
When I'm gone
No more education, no need for transformation
So don't shed a tear for me, when I'm gone
When I'm gone
No more expectations, and no obligations
Please, celebrate the life we shared, when I'm gone
When I'm gone... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When I'm gone... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
What is this heat I'm feeling?
Desire's breathing down my neck again?
She whispers freely to me
But I know that I'll leave it all behind...
When I'm gone
I'll be a new creation
When I'm gone
It'll be a new sensation
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
It'll be my graduation
When I'm gone
A permanent vacation
When I'm gone
Time, if I could pay your price
Time for all whom I have loved
Pictures of you burned in my soul
I can take, with me everywhere, when I'm gone
No more education, no need for transformation
So don't shed a tear for me, when I'm gone
When I'm gone
There'll be no more expectations, and no obligations
Please, celebrate the life we shared, when I'm gone
When I'm gone... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When I'm gone... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
