| As I was trying to show you | |
| About the Golden Rule | |
| And what the verses taught you | |
| Turned invisible under the moon | |
| Gambling on the weather | |
| To keep the fever down | |
| It's down | |
| Down | |
| Down | |
| When you wander up behind me | |
| Stepping on my throat | |
| You're in among the shadows | |
| I warned you about | |
| Comfortably measured | |
| By the standards that you set | |
| Apart from the Golden Rule | |
| Da Da La... [wordless chorus by his daughter Eden] | |
| The century is opening | |
| You're the next in line | |
| You stand there and accept it | |
| So fine, so fine | |
| I miss you when I'm with you | |
| And claw the air for breath | |
| It's time | |
| This time | |
| It's time | |
| Dubba Da La... [wordless chorus by his daughter Eden] | |
| (filtered vocal by Cale, w/ trademark screaming) | |
| You said we're not sentimental | |
| But you thought listening was for fools | |
| You saw your chance and you took it | |
| Just blame the Golden Rule | |
| Coal smoke on the city | |
| It's from another age | |
| The scribbling in your notebook | |
| Is soaking with rain | |
| Stumbling on the cobblestones | |
| Mixing with the crowd | |
| Another verse in the Golden Rule | |
| Da Da La... [wordless outro by his daugther Eden] |
