Solid Gold

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
This snake is wrapped around my neck
Solid gold
This snake is wrapped around your neck
Solid gold
This snake is wearing the body of a man
This man is you and you're holding hands

[Verse 1]
And as we grew up we learnt the rules
And now we're older we serve them too
It's time to move on and leave behind
This superstitious mind

[Chorus]
This snake is wrapped around my neck
Solid gold
This snake is wrapped around your neck
Solid gold
This snake is wearing the body of a man
This man is you and you're holding hands

[Verse 2]
And for the good life you've lost your way
You've traded ethics and liberty
And what you're left with is emptiness
That's all that you've got left

[Chorus]
This snake is wrapped around my neck
Solid gold
This snake is wrapped around your neck
Solid gold
This snake is wearing the body of a man
This man is you and you're holding hands
Yeah, you're holding hands

[Instrumental]
