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...
