Arriba   I Believe

I sold my soul to Rock and Roll
I never got it back
Though my records turning gold

You say you sold your times as well
Working five days in a row
Those eight-to-five jobs sure mean hell

It's a gambler's way of thinking
I scratch for gold, you're safe and sound

But I believe, we're gonna make it
Leave the bad years far behind
Yes, I believe, that we can take it
Steppin' through the door ahead of time

I never seem to find the time
To do the things I plan
I just can't figure out what's right

You've got the future in your hand
Promotion in July
Those office girls at your command

You can get your satisfaction
With your wife and kids at home

But I believe, we're gonna ...
But I believe, we're gonna ...
Money, Money, Money, Money!

It makes the wheel of life go round
I get my pieces of the cake
You pick your crumbs up from the ground
Good lucks' an asset that we need
So try to keep it very close
Maybe your ends will always meet

It's a gambler's way of thinking
I scratch for gold, you're safe and sound

THE FANS:
We believe, that you will make it
Leave the bad years far behind

Yes I believe, that we can take it
steppin' through the door ahead of time

Yes I believe, we're gonna ...
Money, Money, Money, Money!
Cash!

It makes the wheel of life go round
I get my pieces of the cake
You pick your crumbs up from the ground
Good lucks' an asset that we need
So try to keep it very close
Maybe your ends will always meet

It's a gambler's way of thinking
I scratch for gold, you're safe and sound

THE FANS:
We believe, that you will make it
Leave the bad years far behind

Yes I believe, that we can take it
steppin' through the door ahead of time

Yes I believe, we're gonna make it
Leave the bad years far behind

Yes, I believe, we can really take it
Steppin' through the door
Ahead of time ...
 
Arriba   The History of Mystery (Part 1)

Give me a chance
To see through my reason
Wasting my time
While life is still so young?
Have I lost faith
In things we believed in
All the answers are lost, everyone

Aggression right inside my head
Is natural as my doctor said
My hero is a loaded gun
It really works, it's deadly fun
Our teacher keeps a polished knife
To guard his kids - protect his wife
The hate of twenty centuries
Rejects the love in you and me

The latest education plan
Tells children Hitler was a fool
And yet we follow where he led
The killing trade, the gun's the tool
No country ever starts to fight
They're just defending, as they say
We sit at home and watch the news
Surprise! Nobody killed today!
 
Arriba   The History of Mystery (Part 2)

If laws' divided into classes
If justice is a rich man's game
Then who defends the poorer masses
A lawyer with an unknown name?
You beat your wife, you pay your bail
You steal a car, six months in jail
We know that violence still increases
As one of mankind's new diseases

Don't ask me what the answer is
It's just confusion in my head
It makes no difference how you vote
You might as well just stay in bed
An empty stomach makes you think
A steak or two might save your day
So drown your sorrows in your drink
There's really nothing left to say
  
Arriba   A Cold Old Worried Lady

A cold old worried lady
Took my hand today
She warned of gloom, impending doom
I laughed, and I sent her on her way

Then as she closed my garden gate
She turned to me and stared
There was nothin' said, but inside my head
I felt, just a little bit scared

Alone inside my empty house
I reflected on her words
Predicting things so bad, I guess she must be mad
Still I wish, I wish I'd never heard

As shadows began to wash my room
Thought about my past
The mistakes I made, the dues I never paid
Am I a ship without a mast?

I know I wasn't always wrong
But I wasn't often right
'Cos when being kind means being left behind
It's a choice, a simple choice of black or white

Everybody gets what's coming
And it's just what I deserve
I'd be crueler still, 'cos I've got the will
But I never, no I never had the nerve

I'm a lonely empty body
A worn and faded brain
So I'll stay inside, where it's safe to hide
And never face the world again

Is there nothing left to life for
Nothing left to do?
It's a crazy pain, when your life's in vain
I'll be glad, I'll be glad when mine is through

I think I'll use my shotgun
or a hundred colored pills
Though I don't know how, really mean it now
I'll try anything, anything, anything that really kills

Lord, a strong imagination
Should be locked inside your head
Now there is no pain, but I can't explain
Why I wish, I wish I wasn't dead

A cold old worried lady
Took my hand today
She warned of gloom, impending doom
I laughed, then I sent her on her way.
 
Arriba   Old Loves Die Hard

To find a friend
Is not as easy to pour a drink
But even harder is
To separate the good from those that stink

To realize this you spent years
A little scared, sometimes with tears
You will find out you're still the same
And all those left, the ones to blame

Old loves die hard
And I can't help it
But it's tearing me apart

So what is left for you
Is just to heal the scars of hate
It seems a waste to try
To teach an old dog newer tricks

If love appears to be a crime
If hate is hip, to cheat is fine
Just let me know, 'cos I'll take off
I hate to hate, I want to love

Old loves die hard
And I can't help it
But it's tearing me apart

Old loves die hard
They're far from good
And they are only good from far

You create a mediocre heart-attack
To find the clue for right and wrong
A single word sometimes has more effect
To state a point of view
That could make your weakness strong

Old loves die hard
And I can't help it
But it's tearing me apart

Old loves die hard
They're far from good
And they are only good from far

Don't hide your heart
New love will start
