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
And dig your grave
Heartless challenge
Pick your path and I'll pray
Wake up in the morning
See your sunrise, loves, to go down
Lousy lovers, pick their prey
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
So pick up the pieces and go home.
Rock on, ancient queen
Follow those who pale
In your shadow
Rulers make bad lovers
You better put your kingdom up for sale
(Up for sale)
Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
And 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
And is it over now, do you know how
So pick up the pieces and go home.
(Go home)
Shadow of the woman...
Shadow of the woman...
Shadow of the woman...
Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
And 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
And is it over now, do you know how
So pick up the pieces and go home.
(And go home)
(And go home...)
