Thin Lizzy - Fools Gold слова песни
In the year of the famineWhen starvation and black death raged across the landThere were many driven by their hungerTo set sail for the americasIn search of a new life and a new hopeOh but there were some who couldnt copeAnd they spent their lifeIn search of fools goldThe old prospectorHe makes it to the four lane highwayHis old compadreLies dead in the sandWith outstretched handsHe cries, "are you going my way? "The people passing by dont seem to understandThe curse of fools goldBroken joe just lying in a gutterHes gone as low as any man can beHe calls for wine but theyll only serve him waterThe bartender say "we dont sell sympathy"He tells a strange storyAbout his fatherHow sunday mornings theyd go downTo the church on the cornerAs time grows olderHis thoughts they grow youngerIt is his wishTo search no longer for fools goldThe vulture sits on topOf the big top circus arenaHes seen this show beforeKnows someone is going to fallJust near the partWhere the beautiful dancing tightrope ballerineForgets that the safety netIsnt there at allDown he swoops with claws drawn to take herRazor sharp so savagely is she mauledOh my god, is there no one who can save her? In steps the fox to thunderous applauseFools gold
