When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide  
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride  
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again

The police in New York City  
They chased a boy right through the park  
And in a case of mistaken identity  
The put a bullet through his heart  
Heart breakers with your forty four  
I want to tear your world apart

It will be with you

To see the cool clear  
Eyes of a seeker of wisdom and truth,

Yet with the slam, bang, tang  
Reminiscent of gin and vermouth.

Oh, I believe in you,  
I believe in you.

I believe for every drop of rain that falls  
A flower grows  
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night  
A candle glows  
I believe for everyone that goes astray  
Someone will come to show the way

Faith of our fathers, living still  
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword,  
O how our hearts beat high with joy  
Whene’er we hear that glorious word!  
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!  
We will be true to thee till death!

Requiem Aeternum Requiem Aeternum

Momma momma forget your pies  
Have faith they won’t get cold  
And turn your eyes to the bloodshot sky  
Your flag is flying full at half-mast  
For the matadors who turned their backs to please the crowd  
And all fell before the bull

Red was the color of his blood flowing thin  
Pallid white was the color of his lifeless skin  
Blue was the color of the morning sky  
From the ground where he died  
It was the last thing that was seen by him

There was blood on the saddle and blood all around  
And a great big puddle of blood on the ground  
A cowboy lay in it all covered with gore  
And he never will ride any broncos no more

One day we rode the mountain crest  
And I went east and he went west  
I took to law and wore a star  
While he spread terror near and far  
With lead and blood he gained such fame  
All through the West they feared the name of Ringo

(Ringo, Ringo)

And in death, he still is laughing  
For the grave his secret holds  
And the mighty superstition  
Keeps the Dutchman’s yellow gold  
Yellow gold

Golden words he will pour in your ear  
But his lies can’t disguise what you fear  
For a golden girl knows when he’s kissed her  
It’s the kiss of DEATH from Mister Goldfinger!

Balance the cost of the soul you lost  
With the dreams you lightly sold  
Are you under the power of gold?
