The Ashes Of Rock 'n Roll (Fool's Gold)

I found a picture of you in black and white

Looking like bob dylan's disciple

The only thing left is a spark in your eye

In the ashes of rock and roll

You used to shine like the 4th of july

Looking like a midnight revival

To see you now is to watch a man die

In the ashes of rock and roll

You shining like fool's gold

Shining like fool's gold

You're out digging for what's left of our souls

In the ashes of rock and roll

I remember when your love was full force

You held her hand like it was a bible

And just like last night

I found out about your divorce

In the ashes of rock and roll

You used to run like a river in a flood

Out chopping down on your idols

Now there's a cynic, dripping in your blood

In the ashes of rock and roll

You shining like fool's gold

Shining like fool's gold

You're out digging for what's left of our souls

In the ashes of rock and roll

I watched them come and go

I watched them taking their toll

Maybe rock n' roll never dies

But it sure gets old

Yeah it sure gets old

You swore to me that we'd always be close

Singing leonard cohen's hallelujah

Now you casting lots for my old man's clothes

In the ashes of rock and roll

You shining like fool's gold

Shining like fool's gold

You're out digging for what's left of our souls

In the ashes of rock and roll

Shining like fool's gold

Yeah you're shining like fool's gold

You're out digging for what's left of our soul

In the ashes of rock and roll
