Sweet Needles Of Success lyrics
The circus is full of smoke
After all this years
Some were good, some were bad
Didn t know what I was about to start when I started
Though I wrote it all down
God, I was so naive!
When you re on the show, you ve got to shoot not to sing

Wasn t it worth anyway
12 years, 6 were good, 6 were bad
20.000 songs in my head and a toast to all the pimps in the world
Here s to you
Hey, hey, here s to you, till the last bullet s fired
Welcome, sweet needles of success
Here s to you, you got to shoot, not to sing
Welcome, customers, whores, I still got my gun
I still got my gun
Look, I point at you

There s a shadow on the target, I guess you call it future
And the fingertip-orchestras sounded like spirit rapping on the radio

The day I sold my music for less than a soul
To a full-playback-pop-music-teenage-hero
Here s to you, sweet needles of success
Welcome, customers, whores, I still got my gun
Here s to you, you got to shoot not to sing
I still got some shots inside

Welcome, sweet needles of succes
Take me home, take me home
Oh, sweet needles of success
Here I go
Into the dry-ice fog
