I've got a house in the back of my head But I can't find a permanent resident 'Cause the market's down And the area's not so good these days I've got a watch but I don't have time I've got a road and it leads to decadence But a dead end sign waits down the line I leave my footprints for the evidence So take my life, I'll hand it to you And you can try on my clothes But you can't fill these shoes On a silver platter your wish came true So your heart of gold turned platinum You can take my life (oh) But you can't take it with you More long days and fleeting nights I tell them, "Wake me under flashing lights" 'Cause I'm a brand name bought and sold (Sold, sold, sold) They say a face for fame is a crying shame Because to face the crowd is to play their game And I can play a little too rough Now and again (every now and again) You drank the poison and I let you in So take my life, I'll hand it to you And you can try on my clothes But you can't fill these shoes On a silver platter your wish came true So your heart of gold turned platinum You can take my life (oh) But you can't take it with you You drank the poison and I, I let you in Would you trade that heart of gold for a minute in my skin? You drank the poison and I, I let you in Would you trade that heart of gold for a minute in my skin? So take my life, I'll hand it to you And you can try on my clothes But you can't fill these shoes On a silver platter your wish came true So your heart of gold turned platinum You can take my life (oh) But you can't take it with you
