[Verse 1]
Feeling good in Hollywood
Always doing what you should
That's what you're told
She said she's had enough
This California goldrush
Enough's washing up

[Pre-Chorus]
She's looking for treasure in her head
Holes in her heart from things she never had
Things she never had
She's looking for treasure in her mind
Holes in her heart from things she left behind
Things she left behind

[Chorus]
Whenever you say, whatever you say it's right
Stay golden, you stay golden
Silver's fine like things of mine
But say bye-bye, say-say bye-bye
Whenever you say, whatever you say it's right
Stay golden, you stay golden
Silver's fine like things of mine
But you are golden, you are golden

[Verse 2]
Good for you
Did all the things you pledged allegiance to

[Pre-Chorus]
She's looking for treasure in her mind
Tearing her heart apart until she finds
Things to make her shine

[Chorus]
Whenever you say, whatever you say it's right
Stay golden, you stay golden
Silver's fine like things of mine
But you are golden, you are golden
Whenever you say, whatever you say it's right
Stay golden, you stay golden
Silver's fine like things of mine
But you are golden, you are golden

[Bridge]
I'm saying now, now
Now, now

[Chorus]
Whenever you say, whatever you say it's right
Stay golden, you stay golden
Silver's fine like things of mine
But you are golden, you are golden
Whenever you say, whatever you say it's right
Stay golden, you stay golden
Silver's fine like things of mine
But you are golden, you are golden

[Outro]
Whenever you say whatever you say it's right
Say-say bye-bye
Whenever you say whatever you say it's—
