Apocalypse

Paradise in distress
From the album:
Paradise in distress

G.Kooymans/B.Hay
Soul-R System

I’ve been faster, than my own shadow
I’ve been colder, than an ice pick 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
Playing 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 started singin’ to the rhythm of the city noise
I said Yeah yeah yeah

Well I was knockin’ opportunity right on its head
In my silver coloured suit and my Panama hat
Yeah, I had nothin’ to fear, I had places to go
And I swear I felt lightnin’ in my bones
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, 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 lovin’ it!
Oh, oh yeah… (through the air)

Well I’m tap-dancing’, floatin’ on thin air
High on nothin’, ‘xcept sweet adrenalin
And I see somethin’ behind a tree
It’s the mother of God, got her eyes on me
She says yeah, yeah, 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 the Apocalypse

Yeah now I’m ready to start this machine
And heaven knows it’s all destiny
I’ve got nothing to fear and I don’t care
Cause I feel free let’s get out of here
Yeah, yeah yeah,

Oh, oh, all I want is something bigger than …….
I love myself and I’m in love with you
And I wanna do it all don’t wanna think
Well I kiss you on your Apocalypse
