Fool's Gold    
     
Like a rabbit in a snare
Like a fish on the line
Like a fly in a web
Everybody does their time

Digging for treasure
“X” always marks the spot
Until it does not
It does not

There’s something I must tell you
In case you don’t know
Even if it glitters, doesn’t mean it’s gold

Like a promise from a liar
Like a needle in the vein
Like a prayer said from your knees
Everybody plays the game

Going back to the well
But the water’s running dry
You don’t seem to mind
You don’t seem to mind

There’s something I must tell you
In case you don’t know
Even if it glitters, doesn’t mean it’s gold

Like the rabbit in his hole
Keeps on digging in the sand
A fool trades for birds in the bush
For the one in his hand

Digging for treasure
“X” always marks the spot
Until it does not
It does not

There’s something I must tell you
In case you don’t know
Even if it glitters, doesn’t mean it’s gold

SOLO

Spent your whole life searching for Fool’s Gold
