BLACK KEYS

- Gold On The Ceiling Lyrics

Down in the waves
She screams again
Roar at the door
My mind can't take much more
I could never drown in
They wanna get my…
They wanna get my
Gold on the ceiling
I ain't blind
Just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It's alright
Ain't no guard in my house

Clouds covered love's
Barbed wired snare
Strung up, strung out
I just can't go without
I could never drown in
They wanna get my…
They wanna get my
Gold on the ceiling
I ain't blind
Just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It's alright
Ain't no guard in my house[x2]

These girls are driving me wild, but I'll never drown it it. I'm rich now and these cats just want my my extra cash...and they'll get it soon enough. I'm a realist, not an idealist. It's all good.
