Lyrics
Take it from me, I take it from you
Owe the stranger what you're welcome to
More or less, don't have to guess do you?
Trading places with the miracle man
He doesn't love you till he shows you he can
Pure honey, no money down
Fools gold, it's all fool's gold
It's all you sold, it's all fool's gold
You walk funny and you talk real proud
You don't say nothin' but you say it loud
silver spoons for big tycoons
I saw your lady with the miracle man
She said she's happy said you'd understand
Selling souls, digging for holes
One day baby you can sell your things
Find a little place where you can spread your wings
All your possessions all your obsessions
Gone, gone, gone
