Am I defined, Oh
By the way they look at me?
Will I be tried? Oh
Will they take what I believe?

I shiver on the one, I breathe for two
I give you what you want, I bend the truth
And everything's aflame, it's all aglow
I know that I can play that game
I'll fool them all

Oh like gold
Let it lead me astray
Oh like gold
Let it take me away

And if I turn my back
And I leave it all
And I'll be running fast
Cause I can't be owned
Oh, like gold

Do I belong?
Oh, I see it start to fade
Teach them a song
Oh, now I feel I've been betrayed.

I shiver on the one, I breathe for two
I give you what you want, I bend the truth
And everything's aflame, it's all aglow
I know that I can play that game
I'll fool them all

Oh like gold
Let it lead me astray
Oh like gold
Let it take me away

And if I turn my back
And I leave it all
And I'll be running fast
Cause I can't be owned
Oh, like gold

And everything is brighter now
It shimmers like a stone
And everything surrounds you now
It's you and you alone

Oh like gold
Oh like gold

And if I turn my back
And I leave it all
And I'll be running fast
Cause I can't be owned
Oh, like gold

(Oh like gold)
I'm gonna be the one that sets it all alight
I'm gonna be the one that sets it all alight
(Oh like gold)
I'm gonna be the one that sets it all alight
I'm gonna be the one that sets it all alight
