First comes the blessing

Of all that you dreamed

But then comes the curses

Of diamonds and rings

Only at first did it have its appeal

But now you can't tell the false from the real

Who can you trust?

Who can you trust?

When everything, everything

Everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold

Everything, everything

Everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold

Gold

Statues and empires are all at your hands

Water to wine and the finest of sands

When all that you have's turnin' stale and it's cold

Oh, you no longer feel when your heart's turned to gold

Who can you trust?

Who can you trust?

When everything, everything

Everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold

Everything, everything

Everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold

Gold

I'm dying to feel again

Oh, anything at all

But, oh, I feel nothing, nothing, nothing

Nothing

When everything, everything

Everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold

Everything, everything

Everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold

Gold
