Deep Purple Money Talks Lyrics

Money Talks Lyrics

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 yeah, whispers in my ear

Gives me everything I want, everything I want



I had rising stock so I got more pockets

I knew where to stick it where no one could 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, yeah



Money talks to me, oh yeah, lays it on the line

Oh, 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



Oh, 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



Wasn't 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, it whispers in my ear

Gives me everything I want, oh yeah



Money talks to me, laughs right in my face

Gives me everything I want, everything I want



I, I want
