Alphaville Iron John # The One Thing # So Lyrics

music: Lloyd-Gold-Echolette

If you open up the cage
You will hurt yourself
The king said it's forbidden
Or you may 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 take 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
Lets take a ride on Iron John's shoulders
He has more gold than anybody in this world
Lets tak 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

SOME PEOPLE

some people seem to have it all
some people always have to crawl
some people pay to be abused
some people end up destitute
some people search their souls for truth
some people try to be of use
some people pray before they kill
some people kill just for the thrill
some people follow one man's vision,
some others die on television
some people build their homes on sand,
some people live in garbage cans
some people think that live is dear,
some people hope the end is near
some people fight for right to life,
some people hate to stay alive
some people dream of life on mars,
some people end their life in cars
some people throw their lives away,
some others go on holidays
some people live and love in vain,
some people don't and go insane
some people always need to win,
some other people love to sin
some people breaking all their vows,
some people slashing sacred cows
some people like to worship stars,
some people think the world's a farce
some people try to make ends meet,
some others end up kissing feet
some people find their holy grail,
some other people go to hell
some people never catch their breath,
some people drink themselves to death
some people seem to have it all,
some people always have to crawl
some people pay to be abused,
some people end up destitute
some people search their souls for truth
some people try to be of use
some people !

THE ONE THING

with all the grace that you possess
you're telling me your lies
a kiss, a touch, a gentle stroke, a look into my eyes
your promises and fairytales have all turned into dust
your star was high, your kingdom grew in vain
now fades at last
that is the one thing i know
stop talking
stop talking with that voice
i can't stand it
when i look into your eyes
who do you think you are
you're too perfect
but this time you've gone too far
how can you be so sure about those tears you're giving me
your mysteries and agonies show no effect on me
i can't believe the love we shared would ever grow so old
your warm embrace was heaven
but tonite it feels so cold
that is the one thing i know...
stop talking...
i can't stand it
i can't stand it
no more
You'll become a mystery
Too many of those strange injections,
Too many gazes at the sun
The lady says, well that's the business,
Running after No.1
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
He will be with you, he will be there
When you call out the magic words..
