Lyric Straw Into Gold
I wonder if you sleep right now
Do you realize I m clinging to
The edge of this bed I have
Nowhere to go--I have nowhere
If I leave, you ll call me quitter
If I stay, you ll punish me with silence, and somehow
You ll fall asleep...you ll fall asleep
Well, do you know that I won t sleep
No, I won t sleep all night long
As your silhouette turns its back on my spoon
I m mezmorized by the ricochet moon
Leaping this leprechaun s wall
I m so disenchanting
Intoxicated by my own tear s soul
And come tomorrow
When my beauty is old
Like a speckled princess
I ll try to cash in clovers for gold
So, I ll light a candle and begin to write
Turn to my work as a refuge
Though my womb is a rush-hour taxi ride
But I will try
To metamorphose pain along my plight
But I ll despise each word I write
So I am clinging to the
Edge like some soap-opera star
With her ten second fade
As the light cascades
Do you love me anymore?
Well, do you know that I won t sleep
No, I won t sleep all night long
As your silhouette turns its back on my spoon
I m mezmorized by the ricochet moon
Leaping this Rumpelstiltskin s wall
I m so disenchanting
Intoxicated by my own tear s soul
And come tomorrow
When my beauty is old
Like a speckled princess
I ll try to cash in clovers for gold
I ll try to spin straw into gold
Straw into gold...straw into gold...straw into gold
Spinning for mercy
Spinning for hope
Spinning for love
Spinning for gold
Do you realize I m clinging to
The edge of this bed I have
Nowhere to go--I have nowhere
If I leave, you ll call me quitter
If I stay, you ll punish me with silence, and somehow
You ll fall asleep...you ll fall asleep
Well, do you know that I won t sleep
No, I won t sleep all night long
As your silhouette turns its back on my spoon
I m mezmorized by the ricochet moon
Leaping this leprechaun s wall
I m so disenchanting
Intoxicated by my own tear s soul
And come tomorrow
When my beauty is old
Like a speckled princess
I ll try to cash in clovers for gold
So, I ll light a candle and begin to write
Turn to my work as a refuge
Though my womb is a rush-hour taxi ride
But I will try
To metamorphose pain along my plight
But I ll despise each word I write
So I am clinging to the
Edge like some soap-opera star
With her ten second fade
As the light cascades
Do you love me anymore?
Well, do you know that I won t sleep
No, I won t sleep all night long
As your silhouette turns its back on my spoon
I m mezmorized by the ricochet moon
Leaping this Rumpelstiltskin s wall
I m so disenchanting
Intoxicated by my own tear s soul
And come tomorrow
When my beauty is old
Like a speckled princess
I ll try to cash in clovers for gold
I ll try to spin straw into gold
Straw into gold...straw into gold...straw into gold
Spinning for mercy
Spinning for hope
Spinning for love
Spinning for gold
