Christopher Columbus

[Verse 1]

The problem with me

Is that I am sick in the heart

Desperate for loving

But too scared to start

But even Willy is free

From this young fantasy

That old Walt Disney promise

That's a-pulling at me

[Verse 2]

In this day and age

There's a profit I know

Well she comes to my doorstep

And opens her coat

She's dealing the prayers that I need the most

But three-hundred dollars is a-cutting it close

[Chorus:]

Gold can buy anything these days

You know that it's true

Everyone tries, but they've all got a price

Yeah, even you

Go roam for the one that will tell you that your money's no good

Pin them down and marry them on the spot

I swear to Jesus I would

[Verse 3]

It seems love is the ship that sailed to search

For that promised new land to be claimed by the church

And glory is the story we hear through the vine

But history omits all them lovers who died

And they cry "save me!

Please save me!

Save my poor sober frame"

We all march religiously in this young lover's parade

Armed to the teeth to attract anyone who'll oblige

[Chorus:]

Gold can buy anything these days

You know that it's true

Everyone tries, but they've all got a price

Yeah, even you

Go roam for the one that will tell you your money's no good

Pin them down and marry them on the spot

I swear to Jesus you should
