What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
You got your ticket and your hotel keys
2
And your overnight bag at your feet
3
You're looking down on the tropical trees
4
While the Spanish maids pick up the sheets
5
Conquistador, in search of gold
6
For all the jackdaw reasons
7
The Midas shadow that's so hard to please
8
And follows wherever you go
9
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained", they said
10
So you played for, the winner takes all
11
And tossed the dice high up and craned your head
12
To see how the numbers would fall
13
You stole the game so easily
14
Your luck ran with the seasons
15
But still the shadow that the night won't free
16
Just follows wherever you go
17
Another day, another boarding card
18
As you wait for your seat on the plane
19
The movie runs but you're still working hard
20
And you don't touch your food or champagne
21
I know that when your well runs dry
22
You'll want to know the reason
23
The empty night will bring you no reply
24
As it follows wherever you go
