Solid Gold

Couldn't cope with the weight of your love

Like a tonne of bricks, I've had some dead-end luck

Turning tricks, counting coins in the dark

There int' no blood left running through this heart

Everything I touch just seems to turn to gold

Empty lungs I got metallic bones

See my eyes slowly turn to stone

And I'm solid gold

Don't get to close I got the Midas touch

All the junk in the gold well it was never enough

Take a midnight drive along the promenade

I spend my life waiting for the seas to part

Everything I touch just seems to turn to gold

Empty lungs I got metallic bones

See my eyes slowly turn to stone

And I'm solid gold
