I've got a house in the back of my head

But I can't find a permanent resident

'Cause the mark gets 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 the 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
