Rolls Royce [English translation]

Lying on the ground like The Doors1

Well-dressed on Via del Corso2

I lose my head like Kevin

At twenty-seven like Amy3

Rolls Royce4

One is like Marilyn Monroe5

A pearl guitar, Billie Joe

I play on the ground like Hendrix6

Viva Las Vegas like Elvis7

Oh Rolls Royce

No, it's not life, it's Rock'n'Roll

No, it's not music, it's a Mirò8

It's Axl Rose9

Rolling Stones10

No, its' not a drink, it's Paul Gascoigne11

No, it's not love, it's a sexy shop

A sexy shop, si si,12 is a Van Gogh13

Rolls Royce

I want a life like this

C'est la vie14

It's not madness but it's just living

I've never been myself

No, there's nothing to understand

White Ferrari,15 si, Miami Vice16

What will become of us

Rolls Royce, Rolls Royce

What will become of us

Rolls Royce

I want a life like this

C'est la vie

My love, you're the devil

You return, but

Only to light my paper heart on fire

God, I pray, save us from these days

Keep a place off to the side and mark these names
