"Paul Simon & Precious Metals" |
| [00:00.94] |
You said your life's a house of cards, |
| [00:03.15] |
and it teeters on the brink |
| [00:05.45] |
On the edges of window ledges, |
| [00:08.04] |
until like a great ship down it sinks |
| [00:13.84] |
Into the sea bed, with sunken gold |
| [00:23.71] |
And words that we said |
| [00:29.87] |
back when You used to think that your life was |
| [00:32.76] |
precious metals and rose petals |
| [00:35.26] |
But now as you're growing up you're finding |
| [00:37.57] |
it's nail-biting and teeth-grinding |
| [00:40.17] |
That crown you wore with the Rhinestones is |
| [00:42.47] |
now just thorns, needles and pinecones |
| [00:45.02] |
And here's one last thing that you must learn too; |
| [00:47.57] |
what keeps you warm can also burn you |
| [00:49.98] |
Time's sinister sundials make your days hard as city streets |
| [00:54.74] |
You fall in traps, jet black in the hole that your self-pity eats |
| [00:59.85] |
I'm playing cards real close to my chest |
| [01:02.46] |
so you can't see what I've got |
| [01:04.65] |
One minute we're sub-zero and in the |
| [01:07.30] |
same breath piping hot because |
| [01:09.70] |
When we are up, we're up and then |
| [01:12.11] |
when we are down, we're down |
| [01:14.40] |
Cars crash in perfect fashion but they |
| [01:17.11] |
don't seem to make a sound and now |
| [01:19.56] |
When I'm hanging with you it feels like I'm hanging myself |
| [01:24.62] |
Now my phone's off the hook and I lay low, lie low, I go stealth |
| [01:29.48] |
You used to think that your life was |
| [01:31.92] |
precious metals and Rose petals |
| [01:34.53] |
But now as you're growing up you're finding |
| [01:37.03] |
it's nail-biting and teeth-grinding |
| [01:39.39] |
That crown you wore with the Rhinestones is now |
| [01:41.82] |
just thorns, needles and pinecones |
| [01:44.28] |
And here's one last thing that you must learn too; |
| [01:46.81] |
what keeps you warm can also burn you |
| [01:49.32] |
You said your life's a house of cards, and it teeters on the brink |
| [01:54.73] |
On the edges of window l-e-d-g-e-s, |
| [01:59.33] |
Watch the clouds move up above, As we slowly start to fade |
| [02:04.62] |
You and I had things that cut like a razor blade |
| [02:10.93] |
