How cruel is the golden rule
When the lives we lived are
Only golden plated?

[Bridge]
And I knew that
The lights of this city
Were too heavy for me
And Though I carry karats
For everyone to see

[Chorus]
And I saw God cry in
The reflection of my enemies
And all the lovers
With no time for me
And all of the mothers
Raised their babies
[Golden lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

To stay away from me

Tongues on the sockets
Of electric dreams
When the sewage of youth
Drowned the spark of my teens

And I knew that
The lights of this city
Were too heavy for me
(Too heavy for me...)
And though I carry karats
For everyone to see
(Everyone to see...)

[Chorus]
And pray they don’t grow up to be me...
