The Handsome Family
Gold
[Verse 1]
Got a tattoo of a snake
And a ski mask on my face
But I woke up in a ditch
Behind the Stop 'n Go

Lying in the weeds
With a bullet in my gut
Watching dollar bills
Fly away in the dust

[Chorus]
Now the sun's sinking down
Spilling gold on the ground
But I'm going out tonight
Out past the last lights of town

[Verse 2]
There was a girl with dark eyes
And hair shining black
And it ran like a river
Wild down her back

But these wide empty streets
And the air shaking with heat
They made me hungry
Hungry to do something mean
[Chorus]
Now the sun's sinking down
Spilling gold on the ground
But I'm going out tonight
Out past the last lights of town

[Verse 3]
The Stop 'n Go's closed
The coyotes they moan
And the wind's rolling beer
Cans down the street

[Chorus]
But the sun's sinking down
Spilling gold on the ground
And I'm going out tonight
Out past the last lights of town
