Testi

In the year of the famine
When starvation and Black Death raged across the land
There were many driven by their hunger to set sail for the Americas
In search of a new life and a new hope
Oh, but there were some that couldn't cope
And they spent their life
In search of fool's gold
The old prospector, he makes it to the four lane highway
His old compadre, he lays dead in the sand
With outstretched hands he cries, "Are you goin' my way?"
The people passin' by didn't seem to understand
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
Oh, fool's gold
Fool's gold
Broken Joe, just lyin' in a gutter
He's gone as low as any man can be
He calls for wine but they'll only serve him water
The bartender says, "We don't sell sympathy"
He tells a strange story about his father
How Sunday mornin', they'd go down to the church on the corner
As time grows older, his thoughts they grow younger
It is his wish to search no longer
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
(Oh, he keep on searchin') Fool's gold
Fool's gold
Hey
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
Oh, fool's gold
Fool's gold
The vulture sits on top of the big top circus arena
He's seen the show before, knows someone's gonna fall
Just near the part where the beautiful dancing tightrope ballerina
Forgets the safety net isn't that at all
Down he swoops with claws drawn to take her
Razor sharp, so savage is she mauled
Oh my God, is there no one who can save her?
In steps the fox to thunderous applause
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
(You better believe it) Fool's gold
Oh, fool's gold
