Apocalypse Lyrics - Paradise In Distress - Golden Earring

From the Album: 

* Paradise in distress 

I've been faster 

Than my own shadow 

I've been colder 

Than a 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 started singin' 

To the rythm 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 nothin' to fear, 

I had places 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 lovin' it! 

Oh, oh yeah (through the air) 

Well I'm tapdancin' 

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
