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.....
