[Verse 1]
Is there gold, is there gold in Kabul?
I've been there in a nest of snakes
I've been there as a blackout artist
Everyone trying to take my place

[Refrain 1]
Is there gold?
Is there gold?

[Verse 2]
I was there as a midnight watchman
I was there for a masquerade
I was there as a makeup artist
Everyone trying to point the blame

[Refrain 2]
Is there gold?
Is there gold?

[Chorus 1]
I sawed myself in halves
I grew myself a pair of hooves
You gave to me this gift
I love you, still alone I drift
[Verse 3]
Is there gold, gold in Kabul?
I've been there in a suicide vest
I've been there with the hangman rising
Everyone trying to take the piss

[Refrain 3]
Is there gold?
Is there gold?

[Chorus 2]
I sawed myself in halves
I grew myself a pair of horns
You gave to me this gift
I love you, still alone I drift

[Verse 4]
You can walk from there to China
From state to reptilian state
Holy Americans singing vespers
Convinced they control somebody's fate

[Refrain 4]
Is there gold?
Is there gold?
[Chorus 3]
I sawed myself in halves
I grew myself a pair of hooves
You gave to me this gift
I love you, still alone I drift

[Outro]
Is there gold?
Is there gold?
Is there gold?
Is there gold?
Is there gold?
Is there gold?
