18 karat gold
Wouldn't fill the hole
The bleeding hole in her heart

That's made from circumstances at home
Because they kept pulling her hair
And so it choked her words

She don't sleep at night
Afraid to turn out the light
And she's home


I thought 18 karat gold
Would save a lonely soul

But she don't sleep at night
Afraid to turn out the light
'Cause they kept pulling her hair

Wouldn't leave her alone
But if i only could read her mind
And release the stone


In her heart where the sadness grows
I'd operate with this knife

And cut a big fat giant hole
To fill with gold and light


And there's and endless battle to be won
And me I ain't a man with an educated mind
And soon

You won't have the strength to carry on
So you scream about it at night


In the night...

My 18 karat gold

It fills a dirty hole
A dirty bleeding hole in my heart
You people think it's made from circumstances at home

Well if someone ever should be pulling your hair
Then I guess you should leave them alone
And now you want me to read your mind

And release that stone

That stone in your heart were the sadness grows

You know I
I'd operate with this knife
And cut a big fat giant hole

To fill with gold and light

But there's and endless battle to be won

And me I ain't a man with an educated mind
And soon
You won't have the strength to carry on

So you scream about it at night

There's and endless battle to be won

I ain't a man with an educated mind
And you won't have the strength to carry on
So you scream about it at night


In the night...
