(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)
