<h2>Lick it up</h2>

<font size="2">Words &amp; music by Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan and Roger Glover</font>

<p>
My shoes are getting heavy, my feet are winding down<br>
I look for her in corners but she's not around<br>
What I eat is eating me, it hits me hard<br>
I'm one jack short of a royal flush, a stranger holds the card<br>
Here comes salvation in the shape of my guitar<br>
I'm gonna ride it like a shooting star<br>
I don't want your money - I don't want your soul ouh<br>
Don't need a reason - I just want to get right down and lick it up aah<br>
<p>
Mother mercy told me a picture never lies<br>
She told me no self respecting hero cries<br>
The prisoner walks in circles, the victim walks alone<br>
Scissors cut the paper, the paper wraps the stone<br>
Stand at the entrance to the gates of paradise<br>
The lights go down, the heat goes up, that's when I cry<br>
Don't want your money - I don't want your soul no<br>
Don't need a reason - Just want to get right down and lick it up<br>
<p>
I found my faith in fortune reaching for the sky<br>
The only game in town, it gets me high<br>
Don't want your money - I just want to get right down and lick it up<br>
Oh don't want your soul - Just want to get right down and lick it up<br>
No don't need a reason - Just want to get right down and oah... Lick it up!<br>
<p>
