How cruel is the golden rule? When the lives we lived are only golden-plated And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me And though I carry karats for everyone to see
And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies And all the lovers with no time for me And all of the mothers raised their babies To stay away from me
Tongues on the sockets of electric dreams Where the sewage of youth drown the spark of my tears And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me (too heavy for me) And though I carry karats for everyone to see (everyone to see)
And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies And all the lovers with no time for me And all of the mothers raised their babies To stay away from me
