Lyrics
Fools 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.
Those steady eyes and that
Ready smile
Can contain the turmoil
Been inside for a while
And then you'll crack
Like us all
Your nose will run
Like a tap onto the floor
And that will be the grossest thing of all
The speeding dial and those
Flashing lines
Only assimilate the feeling
Of beating time
In this race
Everything else catches up with you
And there's just one thing left that you can do
'Cause what we have
Is good as gold
Malleable
Good to hold
Moulding is good
'Cause life is change
And change is good
And you are good
'Cause what we have…
(repeat)
There'll be an avalanche
On this desert land
It'll come down
It'll come down to be
The evidence
Of heaven
I know
I love you
And I know you well
Avalanche…
(repeat)
And you're changing me
Changing me
Changing me
Changing me
