Sweet Needles Of Success Lyrics - Alphaville

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
