Alphaville - Iron John lyrics

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 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..
