FOOLS GOLD

I love them shiny things

I’m blinded by the bling

I just can’t see straight

Picked you up on canal street

But I’m through listening

Wishing my phone would ring

You’re such a good fake

If only I still had faith

Maybe I could pretend I didn’t know any better

But I bite down and taste hard metal

So fucking cold

Seems I can’t help but spend every second on you

I’ve lost control

It’s just my luck

Turns out I struck

Fools gold

I wanted to hold you

No matter what

Well, its all in the air

The stars don’t seem to care

I need something solid

It’s all I ever wanted

Perhaps you’re not aware

And I know life isn’t fair

And love’s not a promise

But I wish you were honest

Thought I was born to thrive

But I’m just trying to stay alive

Its just my luck

Turns out I struck

Fools gold

Oh I shoulda known

Fools gold

I wanted to own you

no matter what

But it cost too much

Guess it’s a bust
