I had a golden ring, and I kept it with golden things
|
In the Bank of a Million Dreams that was bursting at all the seams
|
I had a golden ring. It was such an important thing
|
That I kept it beneath my bed, and I carried it in my head
|
I had a golden dream, and the way it down came to me
|
Was through Captains of Alchemy, who came up from a steely sea
|
And I dreamed through the rainy night, and I managed to sleep alright
|
And my body became so light, that I managed to give it flight
|
Because I know gold is just a trick of light
|
And lead is light as a feather
|
So, leave me where the kids are alright
|
And we will all go down together
|
I had a golden dream, and they took it away from me
|
And they pulled it out of my head, and they showed me that it was lead
|
|
And that's the way it's gonna be.
