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....
