Chasing Gold

Everybody’s living in a movie,

Pick a card, tell what you do you see,

I’ve got the California wave running through me,

Head up in the clouds again,

No one’s really listening,

Am I out of luck or am I lazy,

Another pipe burst going crazy,

Begging to the lord come and save me,

Guess I’m on my knees again,

Praying to the sky,

And if I’m only ever chasing gold,

When I’m out of gold,

I’m out of gold,

And if you’re looking for the heart you sold,

Then it’s probable,

You’re out of gold baby

(come and get your money baby, come and get your money)

Now you’re trying to tell me that it’s my fault,

As if your word was ever really final,

You’re telling me it’s more than I can handle,

Fuck it babe I’m ready for the gamble,

Tell me if the juice is worth the squeeze,

When all I ever do is sell seeds,

You can have a cow for these magic beans,

Limousines, magazines, all on me, baby if you follow me

And if I’m only ever chasing gold,

When I’m out of gold,

I’m out of gold,

And if you’re looking for the heart you sold,

Then it’s probable,

You’re out of gold baby

(come and get your money baby, come and get your money)

A day too late and a dollar too short,

My gaze is caught,

I see no end so I just want more,

I turn to the sky and I pray to the lord,

And I’m telling him, look,

I’ll give up treats for a week if it meant I can sleep in regal quarters,

Put a robe on me with some diamond teeth and believe I’ll be walking waters,

I’ll be parting seas but I need them P’s just to make it seem important,

So I’m chasing gold ‘cause I can’t let go ‘til I know this paper’s sorted

And if I’m only ever chasing gold,

When I’m out of gold,

I’m out of gold,

And if you’re looking for the heart you sold,

Then it’s probable,

You’re out of gold baby

(come and get your money baby, come and get your money)
