GOLDEN CITY

Through the guts of an entangled forest
I found a tunnel hidden in the palms
That’s how I got into the Golden City
That’s where I buried my provisions to forget about the man I was before

Life is easy in the Golden City
Quartz and silver on the side of the street
If you lay your eyes on something cool you grab it
And when you’re sure you really got it in your coffer you go looking for more

I’ve got a housetrained cobra, whizzing on my shoulder
Diamonds from my head to my feet
I’ve got a car collection, and a jumbo mansion
charming all the women I meet
I like to deck their necks with the finest jewels, I’ve got the best blondes, reds and brunettes
Kings and ministers come together to win my favors on the roulette

Come and greet your reborn Midas
drinking beer from a polished cup
I’m the dearest friend for everybody
And though nobody really wants me I can’t tell you that it really hurts

Because I’ve got a housetrained cobra, whizzing on my shoulder
Diamonds from my head to my feet
I’ve got a car collection, and a jumbo mansion
charming all the women I meet
I like to deck their necks with the finest jewels, I’ve got the best blondes, reds and brunettes
Kings and ministers come together to win my favors on the roulette

In the depths of a tangled forest
I found a tunnel hidden among the palms
That’s how I arrived in the city of gold
That’s where I buried my provisions to forget the man I was before

Life is peaceful in the city of gold
Quartz and silver on the sides of the road
If you set your eyes on something interesting, you take it
And when you’re sure you have it in your chest, you go looking for something more

I have a trained cobra that hisses on my shoulder
Diamonds from head to toe
I have a collection of cars, and a pachydermic mansion
that leaves all the women I meet speechless
I like to put the finest jewels on their necks, I have all the most beautiful blondes, redheads, and brunettes
Kings and ministers gather to win my favors at roulette

Come and greet your new Midas
who drinks beer from a chiseled cup
I am everyone’s best friend
and even if no one really wants me, I can’t say I mind all that much

Because I have a trained cobra that hisses on my shoulder
Diamonds from head to toe
I have a collection of cars, and a pachydermic mansion
that leaves all the women I meet speechless
I like to put the finest jewels on their necks, I have all the most beautiful blondes, redheads, and brunettes
Kings and ministers gather to win my favors at roulette
