Apocalypse (G. Kooymans/B. Hay) 1999 Paradise In Distress

I’ve been faster than my own shadow, I’ve been colder than an 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, 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… Oh oh…

Well I was knockin’ opportunity right on it’s head
In my silver coloured suit and my Panama hat
I had nothin’ to fear, I got places to go and I swear I felt lightnin’ in my bones
I said yeah yeah…

Down down down the apocalypse, down down down with the 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

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 yeah… Oh oh…

Down down down the apocalypse, down down down with the negative
Down down, dice come a-rollin’ in, down with a double-six evidence
Down down down the apocalypse

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 outta here
Yeah yeah… Oh oh…

All I want is something bigger than human routine, 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
Yeah yeah… Oh oh…
