Quasi - The Golden Egg lyrics

rate me

<b>The Golden Egg</b> by <i>Quasi</i><br />hoot yourself in the leg

And the goose lays the golden egg

I had that golden egg before

But it disappeared as I limped out the door

Never reveal that you know

That the whole thing is just for show

A cardboard world with painted skies

'Cause we all must agree to believe in the lies

Bring yourself down to your knees

And they'll give you the golden keys

The keys will open any lock

To an empty room or a Chinese box

I can't forget how I feel

And pretend that it's all for real

The pot won't call the kettle black

And I don't even feel the knife in my back.

When we go off to our beds

After struggling for our bread

A pleasant dream may stand instead

Of the clamor and noise that goes on in your head

So carry on like before

And don't listen to me anymore

Don't believe a word I say

'Cause it's only a song and it don't mean a thing
