Fools Gold (Demo)

[Verse 1]

Broken Joe just lyin' in a gutter

He's gone as low as any man can be

He called for wine but they only served him water

The bartender says, "We don't sell sympathy"

[Chorus]

Fool's gold

Fool's gold

Fool's gold

Oh, fool's gold

[Verse 2]

The old prospector, he makes it to the four lane highway

His old compadre lays dead in the sand

With outstretched hands he cries, "Are you goin' my way?"

P people passin' by didn't understand

[Verse 3]

He tells a strange story about his father

Sunday mornin', they'd go down to the church on the cornеr

As time grows old, his thoughts they grow younger

It is his wish to sеarch no longer

[Chorus]

Fool's gold

Oh, he don't need it

Fool's gold

But he keeps on searchin'

Fool's gold

Oh, for fool's gold

Hey

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Fool's gold

Fool's gold

Oh, my fool's gold

Fool's gold (I need my fool's gold)

[Verse 4]

The vulture sits on top of the big top circus arena

He's seen the show before, knows someone's gonna fall

Just near the part where the beautiful dancing tightrope ballerina

Forgets the safety net isn't there at all

[Verse 5]

Down he swoops with claws drawn to take her

Razor sharp, so savage is she mauled

Oh my God, is there no one who can save her?

In steps the hero to thunderous applause

[Chorus]

Fool's gold

You don't believe it

Fool's gold

But he need it

Fool's gold

Oh, fool's gold
