The Power Of Gold

The story is told of the power of gold 
And its lure on the unsuspecting
It glitters and shines, it badgers and blinds 
And constantly needs protecting

Balance the cost of the soul you lost
With the dreams you lightly sold
Are you under the power of gold

The letters and calls got you climbing the walls
And everyone wants a favor
They beg to remind you of times left behind you 
But you know the past is a loser

The face you're wearing is different now
And the days run hot and cold
Are you under the power of gold

You're a creature of habit, run like a rabbit
Scared of a fear you can't name
Your own paranoia is looming before you
And nobody thinks that it's a game

Balance the cost of the soul you lost
With the dreams you lightly sold
Then tell me that you're free of the power of gold                                 	Although This Is Only My Rendition Of One Of Dan's

But there's something about the song that disturbs you
The women are lovely, the wine is superb
But there's something about the song that disturbs you
The women are lovely, the wine is superb
But there's something about the song that disturbs you
