The story is told of the power of gold and its lure on the unsuspecting
|
It glitters and shines, it badgers and blinds
|
And constantly needs protecting
|
Balance the cost of the soul you lost with the dreams you lightly sold
|
Are you under...the power of gold
|
The letters and calls got you climbing the walls
|
And everyone wants a favor
|
They beg to remind you of times left behind you
|
But you know the past is a loser
|
The face you're wearing is different now
|
And the days run hot and cold
|
Are you under...the power of gold
|
You're a creature of habit, run like a rabbit
|
Scared of a fear you can't name
|
Your own paranoia is looming before you
|
And nobody thinks that it's a game
|
Balance the cost of the soul you lost
|
With the dreams you lightly sold
|
Then tell me that you're free of the power of gold
|
The power of gold
|
The women are lovely, the wine is superb
|
But there's something about the song that disturbs you
|
The women are lovely, the wine is superb
|
But there's something about the song that disturbs you
|
The women are lovely, the wine is superb
|
But there's something about the song that disturbs you
|
