Fools Gold Lyrics by Alec Shaw

Thinking Place

2018

[Verse 1]
Burn like the fire
Bite like the heat
Was I born forsaken as
The mud that's on my feet?
I'm low, but I'm ready
Broke and unsteady
I'm as far as our memories
As far as I can be

[Chorus]
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
Fool's gold is all I'm digging for, yeah yeah
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
Fool's gold is all I'm digging for, yea-ea-eah

[Post-Chorus]
Mm, yea-eah
Mm, ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah
Oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Soul is suspicious
My heart condition
Was I born in superstition, yeah
Barren lain to find the truth?
Brought to ignition
As soon as I could see
What I know is where I'm lost, yeah
In this never ending sea

[Chorus]
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
Fool's gold is all I'm digging for, yeah yeah
Oh-oh, fool's gold
Fool's gold
Fool's gold is all I'm digging for, yeah yea-eah

[Bridge]
When I sow it up
Was I born from the blood
Break it out, hallelujah
Come to me cross
Solely bold as a tale
Breaking out, hallelujah
But whole was my bed
And the thoughts through my head
Cross the plains, hallelujah
Come to me cross
Solely bold as a tale
Breaking out, hallelujah
Hallelujah

[Outro]
Hallelujah
Ooh-ooh
Hallelujah, hallelujah
