ve
many times and it=B4s still fun to play it!)


Vision Thing =


(Main riff)
Twenty-five whores in the room next door
Twenty-five floors and I need more
I=B4m looking for a can in the candy store
Two thousand Hamburg four
And colours I ain=B4t seen before

(Chorus riff)
It=B4s a small world and it smells funny
I=B4d buy another if it wasn=B4t for the money
Take back what I paid
For another motherfucker in a motorcade

(Main riff)
In a long black car
With the prettiest shit
>From Panama
When the sirens wail
And the light flash blue
My vision thing come
Slamming through...
=

(Chorus riff)
It=B4s a small world and it smells bad
I=B4d buy another if I had
Back what I paid
For another motherfucker in a motorcade

(Main riff)
Slamming through...
Slamming through...

(Bridge riff)
What do we need to make our, world come alive?
What does it take to make us, sing?
While we=B4re waiting for the, next one to arrive?
One million points of light, One billion dollar vision thing...

(Main riff)
Another black hole in the killing zone
A little more mad in the methedrome
One blinding flash of sense
Just like the president=B4s
Well I don=B4t mind, out of my mind
Blizzard king, bring it on home

(Chorus riff)
It=B4s a small world and it smells bad
I=B4d buy another if I had
Back what I paid
For another motherfucker in a motorcade

(Main riff)
And a vision thing
And a vision thing =

And a sha la la la... =


(Bridge riff)
What do we need to make our, world come alive?
What does it take to make us, sing?
While we=B4re waiting for the, next one to arrive?
One million points of light, One billion dollar vision thing...

(Main riff)
Sha la la la...
Sha la la la...
Sha la la la...
Sha la la la...
