The Alan Parsons Project - Money Talks lyrics

(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 like a 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
