Intro

x2

You've got your ticket and your hotel keys

 And your overnight bag at your feet

YOu're looking down on the tropical trees

 While the Spanish maids pick up the sheets

Conquistador in search of gold

For all the jack-daw reasons

The Midas shadow that's so hard to please

Follows wherever you go.

x2

Nothing ventured, nothing gained they said

 So you played for the winner takes all

And tossed the dice high up and craned your head

 To see how the numbers would fall

You stole the game so easily

Your luck ran with the seasons

But still the shadow that the night won't free just

Follows wherever you go.

x2

Solo

Another day, another boarding card,

 As you wait for your seat on the 'plane

The movie runs but you're still working hard

 And you don't touch your food or champagne

I know that when your well runs dry

Yuu'll want to know the reason

The empty night will bring you no reply

As it follows wherever you go.
