Monte Carlo - Mott The Hoople

Everyone agrees, a little money helps to please,

But I just took so much of it, Im shakin at the knees

And weve gotta leave this town.

Weve had a heavy day, but the law want us to stay,

We told them «thanks a lot, but weve just got to get away»

And weve gotta leave right now!

Theres a place I gotta be, and time wont wait for me But I gotta make it alone

I can see the river wind, and hear the guns behind

We gotta move, we gotta run,

Away from what weve done.

Only yesterday I was lazing in the sun,

Makin out with bar-room queens and boozing like a bum

Now weve gotta leave this town

It dont seem really fair, but then thinkin of my share,

I guess it cant be bad, cos I must be a millionaire,

So weve gotta leave right now.

Theres a place I gotta go where nobodyll know

And Ive gotta make it alone

I can see the hills ahead, and the skyline turning red …

Now Im crawling down the street with an independent air,

Feeling good from being loose, so we aint got a care

And feeling like settling down

But someone starts to stare, and he jumps up from his chair,

Before he gets to make a sound, Im sitting on my mare

And weve gotta leave right now

I dont know where to go, and Im feeling pretty low

But Ive gotta make it alone

And as I turn around, I can see a dusty cloud …

We gotta move, we gotta run,

Away from what weve done

We gotta move, we gotta run,

All the way to monte carlo.
