Ain't We Gold

Whirlwind dancing like a snake in the sky

Whirlwind dancing like a snake

Friend, don't you let another day go by

Shaking that your heart might break

Looking so hard that you can't see the picture

Numbered with a magic touch

Throwing gold bricks through a rich man's window

Tragic when it don't add up

But ain't we gold?

Ain't we blue?

Ain't life hard?

Ain't love true?

Baby, it's a good thing

Baby, it's a good thing

Baby, it's a good, good thing

I got you

Carrot on a string, cartoon wealth

Oh Lord, a carrot on a string

In churches learning how to hate yourself

Ain't grace a wretched old thing

Whole wide world stepping on toes

Whole world stepping on toes

Chewing up diamonds, shitting out coals

Tell me where the time all goes

Ain't we gold?

Ain't we blue?

Ain't life hard?

Ain't love true?

Baby, it's a good thing

Baby, it's a good thing

Baby, it's a good, good thing

I got you

Whirlwind dancing like a snake in the sky

Whirlwind dancing like a snake

Friend, don't you let another day go by

Shaking that your heart might break
