Where There's Gold Lyrics
Step on the stage, the lights, the praise
The curtain calls and the big parade
You know that life all too well
The promise, the pain, the valor, the rage
Hold up your hands for the bow and the wave
You know its touch a little too well
You throw yourself into their arms
Mistresses have all the fun
But no one's ever there to take you home
Box up your gloves and your down coats
Bound for the sun and the west coast
Where upper-crust tragedies abound
A tip for the girl at the coat check
The guy at the door and the bar back
They know your face oh so well
But movies never made you famous
All your dreams got lost or traded
And all you ever cared about got lost
But you were surely still an actress
All the men would find attractive
And all you ever dreamed of was the clost
Where there's gold, there's a gold digger.
Where there's gold, there's a gold digger.
Where there's gold, there's a gold digger.
Where there's gold, there's a gold digger.
Where there's gold, there's a gold digger.
Where there's gold, there's a gold digger.
You throw yourself into their arms
Mistresses have all the fun
But no one's ever there to take you home
The curtain calls and the big parade
You know that life all too well
Hold up your hands for the bow and the wave
You know its touch a little too well
Mistresses have all the fun
But no one's ever there to take you home
Bound for the sun and the west coast
Where upper-crust tragedies abound
The guy at the door and the bar back
They know your face oh so well
All your dreams got lost or traded
And all you ever cared about got lost
All the men would find attractive
And all you ever dreamed of was the clost
Where there's gold, there's a gold digger.
Where there's gold, there's a gold digger.
Where there's gold, there's a gold digger.
Where there's gold, there's a gold digger.
Where there's gold, there's a gold digger.
Mistresses have all the fun
But no one's ever there to take you home

hahaha i second feelingeverfine's comment amazing song, even better in earphones really loud
the lest fav. song ? are you kidding me? i love this song , it's very simple but i love it. it's also perfect for me to play and sing because the strumming pattern is so simple . but you know that's just my opinion
The worst song he's written? Really? Wow. I think this is one of the best on the new album and very good next to the best in the Dashboard library.
This seems to be about fame and how someone became lost in it. Gone are the ambitions and the person he or she once was. Despite the celebrity, this person is now very alone in the world and doesn't know who to trust.
this song is awesome, no doubt
brandnew 07...
neither kanye nor chris made up "gold digger" its a common term...anyway, i agree, this is the BEST song on TSOPT.
