Black and Gold Songtext
von Dead Poet Society

Midnight drifting
Through my fears
How my body′s bound to go
Through death, I'll disappear

The time I′m losing
How I've changed
Beat my head into the ground
And maybe I'll find my way back down

You′ll burn out
Burnout ′til you're blood and bones
Cut down
And leave my body black and gold

Oh, you′ll burn out
Burnout 'til you′re blood and bones
Cut down
And leave my body black and gold


Fading memories, almost dreams
I can't leave the past behind
So maybe, I′ll just lay down and die

You'll burn out
Burnout 'til you′re blood and bones
Cut down
And leave my body black and gold

Oh, you′ll burn out
Burnout 'til you′re blood and bones
Cut down
And leave my body black and gold

Oh, no, 'cause I don′t like who I am anymore
Oh, no, I'll get it right in another life

Chin up, look straight, will you cut it out?
′Cause, you've spent too long here waiting
Now that the sun's down and no one′s out
Breathe in cold air with patience


What if I′m always alone?
And I don't like who I am anymore
Paint it black and gold
Stay away from the light
From the light
