[Verse 1]
Am I defined, oh
By the way they look at me?
Will I be tried? Oh
Will they take what I believe?
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
I'll fool them all
Oh, like gold
Let it lead me astray
Oh, like gold
Let it take me away
(Oh) And if I turn my back and I leave it all
(Oh) And I'll be running fast 'cause I can't be owned
Oh, like gold
[Verse 2]
Do I belong? Oh
I see it start to fade
Teach them a song, oh
Now I feel I've been betrayed
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
I'll fool them all
Oh, like gold
Let it lead me astray
Oh, like gold
Let it take me away
(Oh) And if I turn my back and I leave it all
(Oh) And I'll be running fast 'cause I can't be owned
Oh, like gold
[Bridge]
Everything is brighter now
It shimmers like a stone
And everything surrounds you now
It's you and you alone
[Chorus]
Oh, like gold
Oh, like gold
(Oh) And if I turn my back and I leave it all
(Oh) And I'll be running fast 'cause I can't be owned
Oh, like gold
[Outro]
Oh (I'm gonna be the one that sets it all alight)
Like gold (And I'm gonna be the one that sets it all alight)
Oh (I'm gonna be the one that sets it all alight)
Like gold (And I'm gonna be the one that sets it all alight)
