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.

Am I defined, Oh

By the way they look at me?

Will I be tried? Oh

Will they take what I believe?

I shiver on the one, I breathe for two

I give you what you want, I bend the truth

And everything's aflame, it's all aglow

I know that I can play that game

I'll fool them all

Oh like gold

Let it lead me astray

Oh like gold

Let it take me away

And if I turn my back

And I leave it all

And I'll be running fast

Cause I can't be owned

Oh, like gold

Do I belong?

Oh, I see it start to fade

Teach them a song

Oh, now I feel I've been betrayed.

I shiver on the one, I breathe for two

I give you what you want, I bend the truth

And everything's aflame, it's all aglow

I know that I can play that game

I'll fool them all

Oh like gold

Let it lead me astray

Oh like gold

Let it take me away

And if I turn my back

And I leave it all

And I'll be running fast

Cause I can't be owned

Oh, like gold

And everything is brighter now

It shimmers like a stone

And everything surrounds you now

It's you and you alone

Oh like gold

Oh like gold

And if I turn my back

And I leave it all

And I'll be running fast

Cause I can't be owned

Oh, like gold

(Oh like gold)

I'm gonna be the one that sets it all alight

I'm gonna be the one that sets it all alight

(Oh like gold)

I'm gonna be the one that sets it all alight

I'm gonna be the one that sets it all alight
