Gold - The Handsome Family

Got a tattoo of a snake

And a ski mask on my face

But I woke up in a ditch

Behind the Stop 'n Go

Lying in the weeds

With a bullet in my gut

Watching dollar bills

Fly away in the dust

Now the sun’s sinking down

Spilling gold on the ground

But I’m going out tonight

Out past the last lights of town

There was a girl with dark eyes

And hair shining black

It ran like a river

Wild down her back

But these wide empty streets

The air shaking with heat

They made me hungry

Hungry to do something mean

Now the sun’s sinking down

Spilling gold on the ground

But I’m going out tonight

Out past the last lights of town

The Stop 'n Go’s closed

The coyotes they moan

And the wind’s rolling beer

Cans down the street

But the sun’s sinking down

Spilling gold on the ground

And I’m going out tonight

Out past the last lights of town
