Mister Ten Percent Lyrics

[I. Maze 00:00-03:03]

[Instrumental]

[II. Dawning 03:03-04:05]

[Instrumental]

[III. Bad Deal 04:05-5:45]

[Verse 1]
Hands off, Mister Ten Percent!
We've got a gig tonight! Ha!
Do you think we're gonna pay your rent?
Working for you 'til the end of our life!
Your stories of success and fame
Have turned the eyes quite wet, yeah!
And striving for a better life
We filled your money bag!

[Chorus]
A big Mercedes
A house on a hill
A week in Sweden
And we're paying the bill
We paid your dinner
But not for long
As we get thinner
Taxis, hotels
So on, and so on

[Verse 2]
Hands off, Mister Ten Percent!
We've got a gig tonight! Yeah!
Do you think we're gonna pay your rent?
Working for you 'til the end of our life!
At first you took ten, tomorrow it's twenty!
The more we give the more you want, ha!
How could you think that you're still a friend?
It might be fifty in the end!

[Chorus]
A big Mercedes
A house on a hill
A week in Sweden
And we're paying the bill!
We paid your dinner
But not for long
As we get thinner
Taxis, hotels
So on, and so on

[Saxophone Solo]

[IV. Roundabout 05:45-11:34]

[Instrumental]

[V. Lucky Girl 11:34-16:48]

[Verse 1]
Aren't you a lucky girl
Living in your tiny world
Doing what your mama told you
You will never think about you
Doing what your mama told you
You will never think about yourself

[Verse 2]
When you came home late from school
Your daddy's acting like a fool
Have you dropped your smaller toys
Playing in the game
Have you dropped your smaller toys
Playing the game
With all those bigger boys

[Bridge]
We came into town on a hot summer night
When I caught your eye
Dressed like a queen, prettiest picture I've seen
On our lonesome ride
Don't you think I still long coming down
Making love to you
When we ride on tomorrow I know I'll find someone new
So look what you do

[Keyboard Solo]

[Verse 3]
Weren't you a lucky girl?
Never tried to fake your world
Doing what your mama told you
You will never think about you
Doing what your mama told you
You will never think about yourself
About yourself

[VI. Million Dollars 16:48-21:36]

[Verse 1]
Pictures in the local zoo
Ready for the interview
Painted face in different colours
Dreaming of a million dollars

[Chorus]
The dreams are torn, the game is over for you
All things have changed, but what comes next?
All illusions have disappeared
But we have to live on for another forty years
Left alone, on your own
Do you fear my dear?
Who's going to work for you for the rest of your life?

[Verse 2]
Imagine what you've done for us
And what you get instead
Spend the days with good-time girls
And you talking all our bread

[Chorus]
The dreams are torn, the game is over for you
All things have changed, but what comes next?
All illusions have disappeared
But we have to live on for another forty years
Left alone, on your own
Do you fear my dear?
Who's going to work for you for the rest of your life?

[Outro]
Say goodbye
