[Verse 1]
Am I defined? Oh
Oh, by the way they look at me
Will I be tried? Oh
Oh, will they take what I believe?
[Pre-Chorus]
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 fool them all
[Chorus]
Oh, like gold, let it lead me astray
Like gold, let it take me away
And if I turn my back and I leave it all
I'll be running fast, cause I can't be owned
Oh, like gold
[Verse 2]
Do I belong? Oh
I see it start to fade
Teach them a song, oh
Now I feel I've been betrayed
[Pre-Chorus]
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 fool them all
[Chorus]
Oh, like gold, let it lead me astray
Like gold, let it take me away
And if I turn my back and I leave it all
I'll be running fast, cause I can't be owned
Oh, like gold
[Bridge]
Everything is brighter now
It shimmers like a stone
And Everything surrounds you now
It's you and you alone
[Chorus]
Oh, like gold, oh, like gold
And If I turn my back and I leave it all
I'll be running fast, cause I can't be owned
Oh, like gold
[Outro]
I'm gonna be the one who sets it all alight (x4)
