Lyrics
Gold
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.
You've got it in the palm of your hands
It's slipping through your fingers
Like sand
'Cause they don't understand
Who you are
Doesn't matter long as I am your
Star, star
Yeah, I know that I need the gold
But what I love can't be bought or sold
Don't think I want what I used to want
Don't think I need what I used to need
Don't think I want what I used to want
Don't think I see what I used to see
I've been waiting, waiting
For the penny to drop
I've been working, working
To get back what I lost
But whatever happens I'll be okay
'Cause fortunes running outta my veins
You can't take away the Midas touch
So you better make way
For a Greek gold rush
Don't think I want what I used to want
Don't think I need what I used to need
Don't think I want what I used to want
Don't think I see what I used to see
In El Dorado, your gold
To Colorado can't be bought or sold
Now, there's no moral to this story
But I can hear my freedom calling me
Calling me
I don't care that everybody knows
I'm a million dollars in a hole
I don't care that everybody knows
Baby, I don't even want your gold
From El Dorado, your gold
To Colorado can't be bought or sold
Rush gold
Rush gold
Free, I am free
