Alphaville - Sweet Needles Of Success Lyrics
The circus is full of smokeAfter all this yearsSome were good, some were badDidn't know what i was about to start when i startedThough i wrote it all downGod, i was so naive!When you're on the show, you've got to shoot not to singWasn't it worth anyway12 years, 6 were good, 6 were bad20.000 songs in my head and a toast to all the pimps in the worldHere's to youHey, hey, here's to you, till the last bullet's firedWelcome, sweet needles of successHere's to you, you got to shoot, not to singWelcome, customers, whores, i still got my gunI still got my gunLook, i point at youThere's a shadow on the target, i guess you call it futureAnd the fingertip-orchestras sounded like spirit rapping on the radioThe day i sold my music for less than a soulTo a full-playback-pop-music-teenage-heroHere's to you, sweet needles of successWelcome, customers, whores, i still got my gunHere's to you, you got to shoot not to singI still got some shots insideWelcome, sweet needles of succesTake me home, take me homeOh, sweet needles of successHere i goInto the dry-ice fogGold/1990
