New Gold

(album: Cracker Island - 2023)

But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one
I asked her where it goes, 'cause I really want
I wonder if she knows that we're underwater
That's the way it goes in this city wonder

Moved to the spot, I'm one of a few
A whole lot of everything, but nothing to do
Tilted in a Tesla, pardon the ex-wrestler
He dates Francesca, they on the Xannies
Liposuction scheduled for Granny
She want to save some, add to her fanny
Girls trip, Miami at the end of the year
Polluted-filled skies, trying to think clear
I heard the bad news while I was shedding a beer
Watch out from the cults, Paul Revere
We all play our part in the devil's cheer
Run to the hills 'cause the end is near

But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one
I asked her where it goes, 'cause I really want
I wonder if she knows that we're underwater
That's the way it goes in this city wonder

Yo, a desolate city where it hurts to smile
Ran into the Reverend since it's been a while
I'm reining in a rando', she's a social scandal
Gave ourselves a handle when it's too much to bear
ABC boys raided the mayor
Like Shaun, he's a Ryder, took on the dare
Now he's singing like a birdy, pulling on his hair
Trending on Twitter's what some of us live for
Friendship's here, but now fucking revolving door
All of this a joke? Pauly Shore
Bullshit keeps coming, maybe I'm a Matador
What are we living for?

Are we all losing our minds?
Because life got in the way (Hey, hey, hey)
They will be here just in time
Your replacement is here to stay (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

New gold, fool's gold
Everything will disappear (New gold)
Someone's out here
Who traveled far too many years (New gold)
To nowhere, nowhere
Nothing here is ever real (New gold)
New gold, fool's gold (New gold)
Everything will disappear, disappear
Disappear, disappear, disappear
Disappear, disappear, disappear
Disappear, disappear, disappear
Disappear, disappear, disappear

But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one
I asked her where it goes 'cause I really want
I wonder if she knows that we're underwater
That's the way it goes in this city wonder
But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one (New gold)
I asked her where it goes 'cause I really want
I wonder if she knows that we're underwater
That's the way it goes in this city wonder (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
(New gold, fool's gold)
But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one
(Everything will disappear)
I asked her where it goes 'cause I really want (New gold)
(Someone's out here)
I wonder if she knows that we're underwater
(Who traveled far too many years)
That's the way it goes in this city wonder (New gold)
(To nowhere, nowhere)
But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one
(Nothing here is ever real)
I asked her where it goes 'cause I really want (New gold)
(New gold, fool's gold)
I wonder if she knows that we're underwater (New gold)
(Everything will disappear)
That's the way it goes in this city wonder
