Good As Gold

Who keeps track of things like that?

Well, I do

You better make me happy

Or I'll be howling at the moon

It's all fun and games

Till I'm feeling blue

I discovered a continent in you

But now I've settled

So I'm hitting every party

Gonna find myself some fun

We'll take uppers in the morning

Light our cigarettes off the sun

When night falls we'll go cruising

And drink until we're numb

And I'll make you

Make you want me

Want me until I'm done

Here's your last attempt

At keeping me at bay

You're gonna chain me to every word I say

Oh, my resolve is weak

I always crack

And I've been reading too much Nin

And you Kerouac

When you wake up in the morning

I'll be motionless and cold

You will bring to me some water

Yeah, you'll do what you're told

When I see you looking somber

I'll say, "Babe you're as good as gold

But I can't see you again tonight

I've got a reputation to uphold"

Then he whispered in my ear

"You're a sly *****, you are"

So I drank away my headache

And I stumbled out of his car

Through the fogged up glass of the window

He made a clearing with his hand

And with his eyes he told me

"One day you'll understand"
