Texty: Alphaville. Iron John.

If you open up the cage, 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 sow, 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, heigh-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 1."
For all their childish daydreams, you caught their falling stars;
Just for the cheapest contracts, you signed your autographs.
And if you started much too early, therefore you've stopped too late,

Make sure that no one stops 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, heigh-ho on Iron John,
He has more gold than anybody in this world.

He will be with you, he will be there,
If 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, heigh-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, heigh-ho on Iron John,
He has more gold than anybody in this world.
