Golden Boy Lyrics

Hey, Golden Boy
Don't let the darkness in to take you away
from yourself
Nobody else, there's nobody left to make you run
Somebody new, maybe it's you
Only bereft of meaning
One of these days
You're gonna wake up wondering how it
went down
Then in a daze
You're gonna make up something,
and wallow around in your room
Maybe it's soon
Or maybe it won't be for some time
I hope you'll be, thinking of me
And I hope you won't be lonely

Hang your head
But don't let your hair fall out
Just hang your hat
At somebody else's house

Game, set, and match
I'll have to give that to you
You are the man
Wait, there's a catch
Everyone sees right through you
But that was the plan all along
Tell me I'm wrong
Tell me you wanted something else
You entered the code
That made you explode
Now I hope you won't be lonely anymore

Hang your head
But don't let your hair fall out
Hang your hat
At somebody else's house

No, no, no, you're not a quitter
So, don't, don't, don't, don't you be bitter
Go, go, go where you glitter away

Hang your head
But don't let your hair fall out
Just hang your hat
At somebody else's house

Somebody else's house
Somebody else's house

No kidding, Browns!

I'm actually finding this song a bit difficult to listen to, just because of the blatant animosity. Too bad, because I think I could really love it if I didn't know the story (or enough of the story to piece the rest together, at least...).
