Gold Lyrics

One eye open, sleeping like a soldier

Steal boots on head on a revolver

And just outside

Vultures circle in the sky

Your trip wire's only good to catch you

Your trap door's only made to fall through

In the dark

You're counting wolves to keep you up

When they bury you with all your gold

You can never stop it burning holes

But you still want it

You still want it

And they'll bury with all you own

Coz you never want to let it go

If you can't hold it

You can't love it

Keys for comfort mirror for reflection

Fly Magpie find me some affection

This old heart

Needs diamonds to make it start

No coin has ever tried to kiss you

No crown is ever there to hold you

In the dark

You're counting wolves to keep you up

When they bury you with all your gold

You can never stop it burning holes

But you still want it

You still want it

And they'll bury with all you own

Coz you never want to let it go

If you can't hold it

You can't love it

And so you're sleeping like a soldier

Counting the wolves to stay awake

Laying your head on a revolver

Spinning the barrel like safe

When they bury you with all your gold

You can never stop it burning holes

But you still want it

You still want it

And they'll bury with all you own

Coz you never want to let it go

If you can't hold it

You can't love it
