Fools Gold

Fools Gold - Black Maria

There's a machine in my head

There's a grinding in my brain

The best part is that it turns you on

The grinding penetrates

Under the sheets my dear

We lie in love but with fool's gold

I want to give you the plans

Just to make you stop

I want you to get out of here for good

It's in my bed but my bed is a plot

And the shovel is anchored down to the floor

And I won't need to see you pushing up dirt again

And I won't need to see you gagging on sincerity

Daylight kills us

KO'd by it and counting to ten

Faced with choices

To pack it in or stand up and fight again

There's something in my hand

Pushing into my veins

The tablature is for a death march

I can't miss you

Because you're already gone

This is the climax to our love song

You're in my head but gone for good

Your sonnet's melody plays on

And I won't need to see you pushing up dirt again

And I won't need to see you gagging on sincerity

Daylight kills us

KO'd by it and counting to ten

Faced with choices

To pack it in or stand up and fight again

We lie in love but with fool's gold
