Lyrics

Streets Of 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.

I just do what i'm told,

And hope that the words from these pages can save my soul

I just do what i'm told,

So i close my eyes and imagine these streets of gold

Tell me how you can see

What it is you see

Cause maybe then i could believe,

In the in-between

I've spent all of my life

Trying to somehow make sense

Of a world i could never explain

I don't try anymore like i did

I'm just doing the best that i can

I just do what i'm told,

The doctors hang over my body while speaking in tongues

I just do what i'm told,

So i let them poison my veins so that i can grow old

Well i'm old enough now i can see

That time doesn't change a thing

We're all piecing together a dream

We've never seen

I've spent all of my life

Trying to somehow make sense

Of a world i could never explain

I don't try anymore like i did

I'm just doing the best that i can

I just do what i'm told

We just do what were told

I've spent all of my life

Trying to somehow make sense

Of a world i could never explain

I don't try anymore like i did

I've spent all of my life

Trying to somehow make sense

Of a world i could never explain

I don't try anymore like i did

I don't try anymore i once did

I'm just doing the best that i can
