| The cats are all crazy, Mona Lisa
|
| They try to say my future is stone
|
| They say they make all the rights calls
|
| To all the right numbers that the fat cats know
|
| But these wheels were meant for burning, these wings weren’t meant to last
|
| And in the end it’s all fireworks and smokerings, it’s a treacherous road, baby,
|
| try not to crash
|
| So keep your singin' voice golden, keep your red shoes on
|
| I just wanna sing Motown Soul, and buy my baby something nice to take home
|
| I wanna dance with poor girls, senora
|
| I just wanna dance…
|
| See, after all it’s a crazy dream, baby, all the good cards burn up in a flash
|
| Oh, my, my, it’s getting late, Cinderella
|
| How long before these dresses turn right back to rags?
|
| Cause don’t forget about my homeboy, we almost died at them gates
|
| Thank the good Lord for sending His angels in a '49 Mercury for lightning-fast
|
| getaways
|
| They not your friends, they all wanna sell your blood
|
| Isn’t that why everybody signs up?
|
| Forget it, baby, keep your eyes on that Cadillac
|
| And keep them feet dancing for they too old…
|
| So keep your singin' voice golden, keep your red shoes on
|
| I just wanna sing rock and roll, and buy my baby something nice to take home
|
| So keep your singin' voice golden, keep your red shoes on
|
| I just wanna sing rhythm and blues, and buy my baby something nice to take home
|
| We keep our singin' voice golden, we got our red shoes on
|
| I just wanna sing rhythm and blues, and crack this old heart, baby,
|
| made of stone |
