Marina and The Diamonds – Gold – Lyrics

Gold by Marina and The Diamonds

You've got it in the palm of your hands

It's slipping through your fingers like sand

'Cause they don't understand who you are

Doesn't matter as long as I am your star, star

Yeah, I know that I need the gold

But what I love can't be bought or sold

Don't think I want what I used to want

Don't think I need what I used to need

Don't think I want what I used to want

Don't think I see what I used to see

I've been waiting, waiting for the penny to drop

I've been working, working to get back what I lost

But whatever happens, I'll be okay

'Cause fortune's running out of my veins

I'm coming for you like a Greek gold rush

'Cause girls, they wanna, they just wanna have funds

Don't think I want what I used to want

Don't think I need what I used to need

Don't think I want what I used to want

Don't think I see what I used to see

In El Dorado, your gold

To Colorado can't be bought or sold

Now, there's no moral to this story

But I can hear my freedom calling me, calling me

I don't care that everybody knows

I'm a million dollars in the hole

I don't care that everybody knows

Baby, I don't even want your gold

From El Dorado, your gold

To Colorado can't be bought or sold

Gold rush

Gold rush

Free, I am free
