Alphaville - Iron John lyrics
[Alphaville - Iron John lyrics]
You will hurt yourself
The king said it's forbidden
Or you will get hell
But the prisoner lets you know
Where to find the key under her satin pillow
Yes, there it has to be
Modesty is fine but it doesn't
Get you very far when you make your decision
Don't be afraid of the dark
Longing for the golden ball
That it will be yours for keeps
Be sure about it as you saw
So shall you reap
Let's take a ride on Iron John's shoulders
He has more gold than anybody in this world
Let's take a ride, hey-ho on Iron John
He has more gold than anybody in this world
Jump on the train to nowhere
From now on you are free
After rising from the ashes
You'll become a mystery
Too many of those strange injections
Too many gazes at the sun
The lady smiled, "Well that's the business:
Running after number one"
For all their childish daydreams
You caught their falling stars
Just for the cheapest contracts
You signed your autograph
And if you started much too early, therefore
You stopped too late
Make sure no one can stop you now
Here comes the ultimate
Let's take a ride on Iron John's shoulders
He has more gold than anybody in this world
Let's take a ride, hey-ho on Iron John
He has more gold than anybody in this world
He will be with you
He will be there when you
Call out the magic words
Let's take a ride on Iron John's shoulders
He has more gold than anybody in this world
Let's take a ride, hey-ho on Iron John
He has more gold than anybody in this world
Let's take a ride on Iron John's shoulders
He has more gold than anybody in this world
Let's take a ride, hey-ho on Iron John
He has more gold than anybody in this world
