Golden Boy Lyrics

The patterns of the world

Are buried 'neath the weight of diamonds and pearls

Like shadows in the night

Who never knew something so wrong or so right

And anyway you go, it's just a gimmick or a show

You take your pills and wrestle with your conscience

While they tighten up pressure

Measure by measure

Well, I'm a Golden Boy, oh boy

There ain't no question

That the patterns of the world

Still buried 'neath the weight of diamonds and pearls

Are like shadows in the night

Who never knew something so wrong, or so right

Ah! But the inimical feeling

A poison of the process

Whereby they tighten up pressure

Measure by measure

But I'm a Golden Boy, oh boy

And there ain't no question

You're my Harriet Beecher,

Pleasure to meet you

No more cardinals, for the old souls

We know

Just where to go

So cordon off the scene, man, lock up the green room

Come lay your body down beside me

We're gonna and take a walk outside

Commit your career suicide

With eyes open wide

Way down past the trees

Put the people upon their knees

Let the magic strike

Prove the might of Right

Ahhhh

And the patterns of the world

Still buried 'neath the weight of diamonds and pearls

Lie the shatters of our lives

Let's put the kids to bed and turn out the lights.
