Apocalypso

Golden Earring

I've been faster 
Than my own shadow
I've been colder 
Than an icepick you know 
What really matters 
Is a heart of gold, 
And a whole lotta money 
And a fat checkbook 

Been a gambler 
Had nothing better to do 
Been crazy for fools like you 
What really matters is 
Make a dream come true 
I ain't playing with fire no more 
Ain't gonna play with fire no more 

Well I was walking down the street 
In my Italian shoes 
I was minding my own business 
Just goin' with the flow 
I could feel the hot sunshine 
On my back 
I strated singin' 
To the rhythm of the city noise 
Yeah yeah yeah 

Well I was knockin'
Opportunity right on its head 
In my silver coloured suit 
And my panama hat 
Yeah I had nothing to fear 
I had plces to go 
And I swear I felt lightnin' 
In my bones 
I said yeah.. 

Down,down,down the apocalypse 
Down,down,down with negative 
Down,down my dice come a-rollin' 
Down,down with a double-six evidence
Down deep the sound 
Of my heart I believe 
Tells me life's there for livin' it! 

Well I'm tapdancin' 
Floating on thin air 
High on nothing 
'xcept sweet adrenalin 
And I see somethin' behind a tree 
It's the mother of God 
Got her eyes on me 
She says yeah
