Gold Lyrics - Mummer - Xtc

Looks as if you're dropping mirrors by the gross 

Looks as if your nine lives have left town 

When you paint in grey and drear 

Eldorado won't appear 

To run his sword through all the fears that pull you down 

And it's okay, for the setting sun 

Will colour everything around you gold 

And it's okay, for the setting sun 

Will colour everything around you gold 

Looks as if you need a lighthouse in your dark 

Looks as if I'm now your native guide 

When the fog is drawing in 

Snarling dragons break to grin 

And trample over all the things that pull you down 

And it's okay... 

And all those pebbles in your shoes are precious stones 

And all the skeletons in closets 

Merely piles of harmless bones 

...And it's okay, as the setting sun 

Will colour everything around you gold 

Even though it's brown, you'll 

See your old brick town go gold
