[Verse 1]
Yeah, them Egyptian pharaohs came down from the clouds to watch us groove with snakes up on the hill
Did you know the human eye can see more shades of green than any other colour?
It's unusual, but that's life
You need to see what's good in the world, otherwise how you gonna live at all?
The wind, the rain, the pain, the shame, take it all
Put it in a seashell, do all the right things but let that butter melt in your mouth
You're a spectacular golden god
And we all live and die by the principle that the big bad wolf of the world one day will lose all sense of time
It's gold, son
And it doesn't mean a thing

[Chorus]
If she wants to go get lost in someone else's eyes
Just let it be, son
Just let it be
If she wants to go get lost in someone else's eyes
Just let it be, son
Just let it be
One day you'll understand
It's best to let the horses run free

[Post-Chorus]
Can't afford my gasoline, son
It's gold, son
It's gold
[Verse 2]
I try to do the right thing, but that damn butter won't melt in my mouth
Hell baby, you can't afford my gasoline
There's no way to know that happens till you're staring down the barrel of a gun
There's no way to know that happens till you're out in the desert dying of thirst in that hot hot sun
You ain't got the sand for it, son
Me, I'm gonna die in an old shack by the sea
I'll be fighting for the justice of the ones that want to live free
Man, Teddy Roosevelt gave an entire speech with a bullet lodged in his chest
It was a matter of duty
The poor sucker should've worn a vest
Every head must bow, every tongue must confess
You the best
But I didn't want you hitching your wagon to my star

[Chorus]
If she wants to go get lost in someone else's eyes
Just let it be, son
Just let it be
If she wants to go get lost in someone else's eyes
Just let it be, son
Just let it be
One day you'll understand
It's best to let the horses run free

[Post-Chorus]
Can't afford my gasoline, son
It's gold, son
It's gold
[Chorus]
If she wants to go get lost in someone else's eyes
Just let it be, son
Just let it be
If she wants to go get lost in someone else's eyes
Just let it be, son
Just let it be
One day you'll understand
It's best to let the horses run free

[Post-Chorus]
Can't afford my gasoline, son
It's gold, son
It's gold
Can't afford my gasoline, son
It's gold
