[Verse 1]
I found this silver bracelet that I bought for my first wife
I found it tossed into that box
From when I lived another life
I found this silver tooth that got punched out when I was drunk
Back when every night was wild
Before I lived here like a monk
I found this silver bullet I had stashed here in my safe
Behind 16 grand in cash
In a box marked "just in case"
I found your silver train between the cushions of the couch
And my knees gave out
[Chorus]
It's coming in, it's gonna be a long night
When you find tarnish on the relics from my past lives
I hope it doesn't pull thе glimmer out of your eyes
Takе it easy on me
I found the golden ticket but never read that little print
I had golden opportunities leave pockets full of lint
Every golden calf I worshiped melted in the sun
I praise the golden arches
Pay my bills and hold my guns
I found Golden Slumbers in my old man's 45s
Silly rabbit, keeping rock'n'roll and Jesus Christ alive
I found a golden goose here
And I'm squeezing it for songs
I never got a golden record, I guess the melodies were wrong
[Chorus]
It's coming in, it's gonna be a long night
When you find tarnish on the relics from my past lives
I hope it doesn't pull the glimmer out of your eyes
Take it easy on me
Take it easy on me
[Verse 3]
I found this Golden State
But, man, it turned into a grind
Stood on that Golden Gate, and almost left it all behind
Watched how gold and paradise wither in a drought
And my knees gave out
[Chorus]
It's coming in, it's gonna be a long night
When you find tarnish on the relics from my past lives
I hope it doesn't pull the glimmer out of your eyes
Take it easy on me
Take it easy on me
