Rapture Of The Deep

I was young and healthy 
Extremely wealthy 
I swung in the trees 
And did as I pleased 
I thought I was rich 
Oh yeah 
Such sweet seduction 
I could feel the suction 
Greasing my palm 
And doing no harm 
Just making some deals 
What a bitch 


Money talks to me 
Whispers in my ear 
Gives me everything I want 
Everything I want 


I had rising stock 
So I got more pockets 
I knew somewhere to stick it 
Where no-one would nick it 
I kinda went private 
And then, aha 
Such sweet seclusion 
No more intrusion 
Too much food on my plate 
But there's guards at the gate 
Such joy 
I could almost die of it 


Money talks to me 
Lays it on the line 
Gives me everything I want 
Everything I want 


Money goes to money 
Yes it always returns 
Finds its way back to the big house 
Where it lives all alone 
Wraithlike silent partners 
Operators of the system 
Give words of quiet assurance 
To an otherwise healthy victim 


It's all coming back to me 
I would swing in the trees 
And I'd swim in the ocean 
I used to show some emotion 


I was not to blame 
I feel no shame 
The structure was shaking 
Was there for the taking 
I had the resources 
But then, oh no 
Someone outbid me 
I can't take it with me? 
Then I will devour it 
I can't go without it 
It's simply a question of 
Market forces 


Money talks to me 
Whispers in my ear 
Gives me everything I want 
Everything I want 
Money talks to me 
Laughs right in my face 
Gives me everything I want 
Everything I want
