LYRIC FOR SALE

By Farkas Pungur - Brisbane AU

(Verse 1)
Mansion up the hill,
Black car, with shiny wheel.
Rolex, diamond and gold chain,
But how many friends you gain?

You got gold, but got no soul,
you lied, you cheated, and you stole.
Money talks and you know what walks,
Every night you knock-off your socks.

Champagne spills on a table for one,
Crowds around, but you're still alone.
No one’s there when the lights go down,
Shadows creep in your silent town.

I see you smiling, but not your eyes,
I hear your laughter, but it's all disguise.
What’s a kingdom with no king?
What’s a song if no one sings?
(Chorus)
You got a kingdom built on sand,
But castle on sand will never stand,
All the riches, all the fame,
But no one’s there to call your name.
Gold without a soul—
Tell me, is it worth at all?
Chasing dreams, yet lost and fall,
Trapped behind a hollow wall.

[Verse 2]
I won’t trade true love for wealth,
Or golden hart with full off health.
I’d rather walk with those who care,
Than drown in cash and gasping air.
When your life comes to an end
What you count is the true friend,
Money can’t buy more time for you
Laughter or happiness for two.

So, keep your diamonds, keep your gold,
I’d rather have a hand to hold.
When the final curtain calls,
Love’s the only thing that never falls.
Keep your money, keep your cold
Keep your wealth and all your gold,
Keep your castle built on sand
Keep your shiny Mercedes-Benz.

[outro]
Gold without a soul—
Tell me, was it worth at all?
Chasing dreams, yet lost and fall,
Trapped behind a stone-cold wall.
