Taste of Gold Songtext
von Mobley

I am all a plate glass window
Looking through me every day
In the night, I′m all reflection
You were, I was, you see, you saw, you say
In my mirrored light, you're taller
The summer sun′s warped my pane
If I brought you true perspective
You'd close the blinds and leave me cold again

I await the dread disaster
Some uncommon tragedy
Don't you tell me it can′t happen
′Cause once it does, the odds don't mean a thing
Though the hands are hardly holy
Pilgrims come to kiss the ring
But the taste of gold eludes them
It′s such a shame they came from all that way


What am I here for?
I never felt like I knew
What am I here for?
I never felt like I knew
What am I here for?
I never felt like I knew
What am I here for?
I never felt like I knew

What is this unkind perversion?
Why the sudden change of pace?
Could it be that we're all destined
To cloy, to claw, to cool, to walk away?
You′ll awake to crystal mornings
Splintered shadows on your face
All my cracks and complications
Will speed me on the saddest fall from grace

You were never once a liar
But you choose the truth you tell
Was it all some grand illusion?
Does fire ever burn inside that shell?
Offer me no empty solace
Keep your memories to yourself
Treat me with that cool precision
You made me come to know so very well


What am I here for?
I never felt like I knew
What am I here for?
I never felt like I knew
What am I here for?
I never felt like I knew
What am I here for?
I never felt like I knew
What am I here for?
I never felt like I knew
What am I here for?
I never felt like I knew
What am I here for?
I never felt like I knew
What am I here for?
I never felt like I knew

What am I here for?
I never felt like I knew
What am I here for?
I never felt like I knew
What am I here for?
I never felt like I knew
What am I here for?
