Fool’s Gold

I walk around on streets of gold
Only fools around but I do what I am told
And heavenly portions of sweet and low
A wind from the ocean that's a highway home
No time for faith, I had beliefs that I forgot
To this day, this is what I have and what I have not

Yeah, I walk around on streets of gold
Only fools around but I do what I am told
And the boys line up, but they've got nowhere to go
They made me pretty and distracted and wishing I was growing old alone
Give me the years to let go of the pride that put me here
I never ran, I walked away slowly,
Try to contest it, I show you

That I walk around on streets of gold
Only fools around but I do what I am told
I follow the right side rules, follow the left-wing-principles
Oh, time, oh, distance,
Oh, rise, oh, [decent/dissent ?]

And I'm not really bothered by much, I'm pretending
There'S too much to think on, not enough to sing
Till you bring me the years to get rid of the pride that put me here
I never ran, I walked away slowly,
Now I'm flying low, oh, low,
There are only fools around but I do what I am told

I walk around on streets of gold
Soon I swallow fortune and head on home again
Oh, time, oh, distance,
oh, rise, oh, [decent/dissent ?]
