Fools Gold

I used to be silent

Now I feel hollow

It's getting hard to swallow

This educated jive

Give me a reason

To commit treason

And what I believe in

Is estimated pride

So make me a painter

Who lives on an island

House by the ocean

Gracefully old

And make a captain

Upon my obsessions

Remove my possessions

That clutters my soul

Stop chasing that fools gold

I used to write lyrics

They gave me the courage

They were not that terrific

But it got me laid

I used to be sexy

Now every infects me

Nothing impresses me

'Cept getting pain

So make me a painter

Who lives on an island

House by the ocean

Gracefully old

And make a captain

Upon my obsessions

Remove my possessions

That clutters my soul

Stop chasing that fools gold

No I don't wanna be younger

Don't wanna live longer

Not sure I belong here

And maybe I don't

Go to Havana

Dance like I'm Spanish

Maybe I'll vanish

And no one would know

So make me a painter

Who lives on an island

House by the ocean

Gracefully old

And make a captain

Upon my obsessions

Remove my possessions

That clutters my soul

Stop chasing that fools gold
