Sifting through gold
Drinking in the rubble
And everything is dust now
Trust is for the old
But how is it you're still breathing?
In the sunlight
I can hear my heartbeat
And everything is close now
Heading for the gold
I hope that you still need me
Still need me
Oh to be lost in the sea
You couldn't be more free
Than floating empty
Far away lies my escape
It'll be my last dance
I leave it in your hands
Sifting through gold
Drinking in the rubble
And everything is dust now
Trust is for the old
But how is it you're still breathing?
(In the dry wind carried through the air)
(Your paper-wax doll ready to catch fire)
(I'll burn it down, take it out with the lie)
(Your paper-wax doll is ready to catch fire)
Saving face by staying awake
It'll be a romance
(in the dry wind carried through the air)
(your paper-wax doll ready to catch fire)
It might be our last chance
(I'll burn it down take it out with the lie)
(Your paper-wax doll is ready to catch fire)
Would it be wrong
If I asked for more?
Would it be wrong?
From you?
Sifting through gold
Drinking in the rubble
And everything is dust now
Trust is for the old
But how is it you're still breathing?
In the sunlight
I can hear my heartbeat
And everything is close now
Heading for the gold
I hope that you still need me
Still need me
