I know a girl Who sold her soul to the world A chance to break Into the largest lakes Get away Bitter she weeps The tears they stain her cheeks She dwells on the past And things that never will last She's like a caterpillar Who crosses the road But doesn't even know She's like a black crow in the snow In the cold Who sings for fool's gold? It's the sweet sound It carries her on She's weak but it's strong And it's the sweet sound It comes around she finds herself And it's the sweet sound She gets so high She's as high as a kite And it's the sweet sound She falls in love she falls in love Every time She is a queen Who's sun-kissed by her dreams She sits on a throne Believing all she is told I spend some time Talking about our great decline It's been three years She's still hiding out
