I’ve got a house in the back of my head
But I can’t find a permanent residence
‘Cause the markets down, and the areas not so good these days

I’ve got a watch but I don’t have time
I’ve got a road and it leads to decadence
But a dead end sign waits down the line
I leave my footprints for the evidence

So take my life
I’ll hand it to you
And you can try on my clothes
But you can’t fill these shoes
On a silver platter your wish came true
See a heart of gold turned platinum blue
Can take my life
But you can’t take it with you

More long days and fleeting nights
So tell them wake me under flashing lights
‘Cause I’m a brand name bought and sold

You say the face, the fame, is a crying shame
Because your face, the crowd, is to play their game
And I can play a little to rough
Now and again (every now and again)

‘Cause you drank the poison
And I let you in

So take my life
I’ll hand it to you
And you can try on my clothes
But you can’t fill these shoes
On a silver platter your wish came true
See a heart of gold turned platinum blue
Can take my life
But you can’t take it with you

You drank the poison
And I, I let you in
Would you trade that heart of gold for a minute in my skin?
You drank the poison
And I, I let you in
Would you trade that heart of gold for a minute in my skin?

So take my life
I’ll hand it to you
And you can try on my clothes
But you can’t fill these shoes
On a silver platter your wish came true
See a heart of gold turned platinum blue
Can take my life
But you can’t take it with you
