If your eyes are blue you know the rest Champagne if it's very cool It's never very formal how you dress For oysters by the swimming pool Then slip away into the mountainside Like the man in the lazy e' It's great to have a place where you can hide Why you must amazes me
Chorus Golden, Where are you? Sold on gold dust I shuttled all around america From new york to los angeles Nervous breakdown later, there we were From liberty to redwood trees A friend of mine, she hitched from east to west In time to hear my final song It seems to me she tried her very best She is a good companion
(chorus)
He stores away the moments of her smiles As if they were rare butterflies Stalks his prey for miles and miles and miles Then barters for the merchandise When life it drags the likes of me around Just when we need some time alone You have a simple mansion underground Without address or telephone
(chorus)
The live version on the attic tracks vol. 3 and on gold dust - live at the royalty is a bit different. the last two lines of verse one are: It's nice to have a place where you can hide For why you must amazes me
And the last verse is: He stores away the moments of her smiles As if they were rare butterflies Stalks his prey for miles and miles and miles And barters for the merchandise As time it drags the likes of me around Just when we need some time alone You have a private mansion underground Without address or telephone
