Golden Idol

 

Golden Idol Lyrics

Well, they`ve made a Golden Idol of the girl you used to be
Hangin` bangles on your branches like a lonely Christmas tree.
Yeah, they`ve dressed you fit for killin` in your thrillin` new disguise
Nailin` artificial spangles to the diamonds in your eyes
In that golden coach that turns into a bed,
You better make it, gal, before you wake up dead.

`Cause they`ll paint your burning beauty with a coat of shiny lies
And they`ll blind you with their wine so you won`t even realize
`Til you watch the face you`re washing disappearing down the drain
And you`re staring in your mirror going privately insane
And that golden crown they`ve pushed down on your head
You better make it, gal, before you wake up dead.

Look around them golden sidewalks that you`re walking on today
And you`ll see that lonely gutter just a careless step away
And that altar that they`re building you don`t even understand
`Cause you`re dazzled by the flashing of the daggers in their hands.

You`ll be dancing in the darkness when their music disappears
And the jangle of your chains will be the only sound you hear
`Til your broken body`s bleeding on an altar made of stone
And you`ve sacrificed your soul to please a world that`s sick and wrong
And you never heard a single word I said.
Aww, make it, gal, before you wake up dead.
