Idols - Black Gold

You play the fool again

And hide behind your friends

You say you walked away

But that’s not on your face

You’re waiting for the sign

To leave them all behind

You shudder all the way

And wonder what they’ll say

You have your chance

To wash the stars away

But it’s too late

Everybody

Wants to touch your hand

But don’t you worry

About the talk behind your back

'til it’s too late

Now you’re bracing for the fall

They’re blinded by it all

You’re frozen by the fear

Of what they want to hear

You had your chance

To wash the stars away

But it’s too late

Everybody

Wants to touch your hand

But don’t you worry

About the talk behind your back

You’re all alone now

Living in the past

'now it’s too late

Fast as they can

Slipped from your hands

And left you bare

Now yesterday is all you have

But it’s too late

Now you’re too late

Everybody

Wants to touch your hand

But don’t you worry

About the talk behind your back

You’re all alone now

Living in the past

Now you’re too late

And everyone who touched your hands

Now it’s too late

Is talking now behind your back

Now it’s too late

Alone and living in the past

Now you’re too late
