♪♪ There is nothing else to hear...♪♪ ♪♪ ...nothing in your ear but the sound of the bell ♪♪ ♪♪ There is no one else to see... ♪♪ ♪♪ ... but one man in the ring, facing you.

♪♪ ♪♪ Only you, only me.

No one else in the world ♪♪ ♪♪ Nothing you can hear.

Nothing in your ear... ♪♪ ♪♪ ... but the sound of the bell, now!

♪♪ ♪♪ Theres the bell.

Close your eyes, close your ears... ♪♪ ♪♪ ...close your mind and send him to hell, now!

♪♪ ♪♪ [Cheers and the sound of a bell] ♪♪ In my head it happens fast... ♪♪ Something good turns into something that dont last ♪♪ ♪♪ Something good turns into something bad so fast ♪♪ ♪♪ In my head, it comes and goes.

♪♪ One day when you have everything ... ♪♪ ♪♪ ... one day when everything you have is gone.

♪♪ ♪♪ Hold on to everything thats good ♪♪ ♪♪ Dont let it go.

Dont let it disappear.

♪♪ ♪♪ Dont let it turn around... ♪♪ ♪♪ ... turn around...

Turn around bad.

♪♪
