heart of gold

Trouble when I was a kid
You can blame it on the television
Seven words you won't forget
"You'll never make it out of here"

Don't look back, just pretend that I make it
'Cause I lost track of everything they've been saying
And it's old news, trying to get through to you
Maybe you should've listened before I went missing

(All that he wanted)
(I wonder, we lost him)

So I'll carry on
When the sunshine faces the dusk
You can take all that you wanted
But you'll never get my heart
When the sun is gone
And the vultures break my bones
You can take all that you wanted
But you'll never get my heart of gold, yeah
Won't get my heart of gold, yeah
Won't get my heart of

The only thing that I'll regret
Is hanging 'round as long as I did (long I did)
Was way too young for cigarettes (cigarettes)
But nothing else to clear my head

Don't look back, just pretend that I make it
'Cause I lost track of everything they've been saying
And it's old news, trying to get through to you
Maybe you should've listened before I went missing

(All that he wanted)
(I wonder, we lost him)
So I'll carry on
When the sunshine faces the dusk

You can take all that you want
But you'll never get my heart
When the sun is gone
And the vultures break my bones
You can take all that you wanted
But you'll never get my heart of gold, yeah
Won't get my heart of gold, yeah
Won't get my heart of
