Gold Dust Woman
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.
Rock on, Gold dust woman
Take your silver spoon
Dig your grave
One last challenge
Pick your path and I'll pray
Wake up in the morning
See your sunlight burning to go down
Lousy lovers pick their preys
But they never cry out loud
Cry out
Did she make you cry?
Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
Is it over now?
Do you know how?
Pick up the pieces and go home
Ooh, shadow of a woman
Back off, Gold dust woman
Follow those who pale in your shadow
Rulers make bad lovers
Better put your kingdom up for sale
Up for sale
Did she make you cry?
Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
Is it over now?
Do you know how?
Pick up the pieces and go home
Did she make you cry?
Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
Is it over now?
Do you know how?
Pick up the pieces and go home
To go home
Shadow of a woman
Black widow
