I´ve got a house in the back of my head
But I can´t find a permanent resident
´Cause the mark gets down
And the area´s not so good these days

I´ve got a watch but I don´t have time
I´ve got a road and it leads to decadence
But a dead end sign waits down the line
I leave my footprints for the evidence

So take my life, I´ll hand it to you
And you can try on my clothes
But you can´t fill these shoes
On a silver platter your wish came true
So your heart of gold turned platinum
You can take my life
But you can´t take it with you

More long days and fleeting nights
I tell them, "Wake me under flashing lights"
´Cause I´m a brand name bought and sold
(Sold, sold, sold)
They say a face for fame is a crying shame
Because to face the crowd is to play the game
And I can play a little too rough
Now and again (every now and again)

You drank the poison and I let you in

So take my life, I´ll hand it to you
And you can try on my clothes
But you can´t fill these shoes
On a silver platter your wish came true
So your heart of gold turned platinum
You can take my life (oh)
But you can´t take it with you

You drank the poison and I, I let you in
Would you trade that heart of gold for a minute in my skin?
You drank the poison and I, I let you in
Would you trade that heart of gold for a minute in my skin?

So take my life, I´ll hand it to you
And you can try on my clothes
But you can´t fill these shoes
On a silver platter your wish came true
So your heart of gold turned platinum
You can take my life (oh)
But you can´t take it with you
