(G.Kooymans/B.Hay)
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


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.....
