If luck follows the wicked, I'm a lucky man
If hope is for the true, then I'm hopeless, my friend

If I'm a sole survivor, I will be dead tomorrow
(Yeah)
'Cause I'm a golden liar, I give you smoke and fire
(Yeah)

If love is for the big one, I'm a tiny man
If light is for the brave, I'm in darkness, my friend
If freedom gives you company, I'm a lonely man
Is this what you call honesty, 'cause I'm lying, my friend

I am the golden liar, I give you smoke and fire
'Cause if you hold me tighter, I'll give you both and neither
(That's right)

I've waited thirteen years
Just to be standing here
(Come on)
(It's gonna be over soon)

'Cause I'm a golden liar, I give you smoke and fire
(Standing there)
And if you hold me tighter, I'll give you both and neither
(Any minute now)
(He's the only one, come close)
Thirteen years I've been waiting here
I feel my life is over
Got no will to live
Steady now, steady now

I am the golden liar, I give you smoke and fire
Yeah, yeah
'Cause if you hold me tighter, I'll give you both and neither
Standing there
