Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You've got it in the palm of your hands
In your hands
It's slipping through your fingers like sand
Like sand
'Cause they don't understand who you are
Who you are
Doesn't matter long as I am star, star
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I know
That I need the gold
But what I love
Can't be bought or sold
[Verse 3]
Don't think I want what I used to want
Don't think I need what I used to need
Don't think I want what I used to want
Don't think I see what I used to see
[Verse 4]
I've been waiting, waiting for the penny to drop
(To drop, to drop, to drop)
I've been working (Working) Working to get back what I lost
(I lost, I lost) I lost
But whatever happens I'll be okay
'Cause fortune's running out of my veins, my veins
[Verse 5]
You can't take away the Midas touch
So you better make a way for a Greek gold rush
[Verse 6]
Don't think I want what I used to want
Don't think I need what I used to need
Don't think I want what I used to want
Don't think I see what I used to see
[Verse 7]
In El Dorado
Your gold
To Colorado
Can't be bought or sold
[Verse 8]
Now, there's no moral to this story
But I can hear my freedom calling me
Calling me
[Verse 9]
I don't care that everybody knows
I'm a million dollars in the hole
I don't care that everybody knows
Baby, I don't even want your gold
[Verse 10]
From El Dorado
Your gold
To Colorado
Can't be bought or sold
[Verse 11]
Gold rush
Gold rush
Free, free
Free, free
Free, free
Free
