Alan Parsons Project - MONEY TALKS lyrics

rate me

(Lead vocal - John Miles)

Money don't grow on a money tree

The more you take the less for me

Money don't buy what you really need

It make an iceman cry, a stoneman bleed

But when you get right down to it, no matter who you are

It rules your life like a virgin queen

One day you might get over it, but in the meantime

It rules the world likea green machine

In the bank, in a box, money talks

In the black, on the rocks, money talks, money talks

Money don't lose in the money game

It drags you down like a ball and chain

So money don't come with a guarantee

It make a fool of you, it make a fool of me

But when you get right down to it, no matter what you say

It ties you down but it can set you free

Some day you might get over it, but in the meantime

It burns you up in the first degree

Moscow, Bangkok, money talk

Park Lane, Boardwalk, money talk

But when you get right down to it, no matter what you try

You deal the cards, give the wheel a spin

One day you might get over it but everybody knows

It's heads you lose and it's tails they win

Don't have too much to show for it, that's the way it goes

You roll the dice and they cash you in

Pinball, jukebox, money talks

Redskins, White Sox, money talks

Billboard, Cashbox, money talks
