Fool`s Gold

My head is heavy and bent like a crane The wrecking ball blues are coming again Latham says, "Babe, you know life is a ride," But livin`s no fun when you`re dead inside I pierce myself to wake up my veins I`d pierce my heart if I thought things would change I`m just like skin that`s been stung and restung Campfire songs that are sung and resung For a girl my age why am I so numb? I`m chasing a lie I was sold Running down thieves and fool`s gold These Christmas dreams are just painted coal I been swallowed up by greed, I`ve been spat upon by lust They ain`t playin` with your money they`re playin` with your trust And I`m tryin` so hard to stop sitting still To gather the juice that`s been spent or been spilled Found a spark in myself that hasn`t been killed Cause if Death doesn`t get ya then Life surely will I`m chasing a lie I was sold Running down thieves and fool`s gold These Christmas dreams are just painted... We`ve been chasing a lie we were sold We`re running down thieves and fool`s gold These Christmas dreams are just painted, just painted Just painted, just painted Coal... Talk about an early frost
