Fool's Gold

[Intro:]

Fool's gold, sparkling like the midnight sun

Fool's gold, touch the ivory handles on my gun

(sold out to me?), Charlatans and thieves

(so wrong not to see?), Jokers and the priests?

Fool's gold, stranded on a (point gloss?) Sea

Fool's gold, nothing here and nothing to see

(sold out to me?), The weasels and the feared

(and it's so wrong not to see?), The ghosts of the disappeared

All gone away...

(instrumental)

Sometimes, when I'm touched by love, by hate, or by the grace of God

Sometimes, in the dark when hope is fading

Or no longer flies

I won't sympathize

Spend my time getting high

Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a Christmas tree

Tired of living on my own, someone came and take me home

Sometimes, this jungle life is boring, pawing

Ready for a feast, someone kill the beast

Outside, streets are teeming, breathing heavy

Ready to explode, my brother's heavy load

What you reap is what you sow

Someone came to rescue me

Lit up like a Christmas tree

Stranded here on my own

Someone came to take me home

(instrumental)

Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a Christmas tree

When I'm out here on my own, someone came and took me home

Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a Christmas tree

Stranded here on my own, someone came and took me home

(instrumental fade out)
