Almost Golden
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Honey, do all the things
I'll never do to you
Oh I know what you'll do
The things I'll never do
Sorry 'bout the fire
Sorry 'bout the torch
Sorry I had to have my revenge
Send it in a note
Say you cannot go
Say you were sick
You can't get dressed
Come on be on fire
Come on be a liar
My dress is the prettiest
Cover me in burns
Everyone take a turn
Cover me in humiliated
Oh my, oh my baby, you do reflect the sun
And my, oh my baby, you were almost golden
My, oh my, oh how you do reflect the sun, yeah
My, oh my baby, you were almost golden
Sorry 'bout the fire
Sorry 'bout the torch
Sorry I had to have my revenge
Send it in a note
Say you cannot come
Say you are still tied to the bed
When's he gonna come
When's he gonna spring
When's he gonna crawl out in public
When's he gonna come screaming bombs away
When's he gonna kill me in this room
Oh my, oh my, he's in his gloriousness
Watch him tear me down with such a vengeance
Hold on to me
Yeah baby hold, hold on tight
Yeah we'll just see which one of us gets out alive
Oh honey, do all the things I'd never do to you
Cover me in fire
Cover me in lies
That's just your entertainment
Sorry I'm upset
Walked a mile behind
I was stuck and you still in a daze
And my, oh my baby, you do reflect the sun
And my, oh my, and you were almost golden, yeah
And my, oh my, oh yeah, you do reflect the sun
And my, oh my baby, you were almost golden
