Golden Earring - Apocalypse Lyrics
From the Album:* Paradise in distressI've been fasterThan my own shadowI've been colderThan a icepick you knowWhat really mattersIs a heart of goldAnd a whole lotta moneyAnd a fat checkbookBeen a gamblerHad nothing better to doBeen crazy for fools like youWhat really matters isMake a dream come trueI ain't playing with fire no moreAin't gonna play with fire no moreWell I was walking down the streetIn my Italian shoesI was minding my own businessJust goin' with the flowI could feel the hot sunshineOn my backI started singin'To the rythm of the city noiseYeah yeah yeahWell I was knockin'Opportunity right on its headIn my silver coloured suitAnd my Panama hatYeah, I had nothin' to fear,I had places to goAnd I swear I felt lightnin'In my bonesI said yeahÂ
Down, down, down the ApocalypseDown, down, down with negativeDown, down my dice come a-rollin'Down, down with a double-six evidenceDown deep the soundOf my heart I believeTells me life's there for lovin' it!Oh, oh yeahÂ
(through the air)Well I'm tapdancin'Floatin' on thin airHigh on nothin''Xcept sweet adrenalinAnd I see somethin' behind a treeIt's the mother of GodGot her eyes on meShe says yeahÂ
