Your life is faster than you are, Christine
You can't keep up, you can't keep up
What you dream, when you wake up it seems
Is made of the same stuff

No one knows how your cash rolls in
But it always seems to keep on coming
You were told don't ask questions just spend and enjoy
Or so you say - and do you, oh boy!

Chorus
I know you live bonne bonne vie
And who on earth would you rather be
Than you, riding in the back on the wind
Raiding city stores of new stock in
Just, take a breath, take breath
Pace yourself, hold on yet

Your life is faster than you are, Christine
You can't keep up, can't keep it up
You think that you're a story but you've played out a theme
The little tales people tell confirm more than enough

No one knows how your money comes through
But keep right on coming it always seems too
You were told don't ask questions just spend and enjoy
Or so you say - and do you, oh boy!

Chorus
I know you live bonne bonne vie
And who on earth would you rather be
Than you, riding in the back on the wind
Raiding city stores of new stock in
Just, take a breath, take breath
Pace yourself, hold on yet

You're going to burn yourself out
Why play on a grand cliche
You might get yourself thinking it's what the game's about
But just wait for the day
Pace yourself, Christine...
You know what I mean...
