Good As Gold

Melissa Mcclelland


Who keeps track of things like that 
Well, I do 
You better keep me happy 
Or I'll be howling at the moon 

It's all fun and games 
Till I'm feeling blue 
I discovered a continent in you 
But now I've settled 

So I'm hitting every party 
Gonna find myself some fun 
We'll take uppers in the morning 
Light our cigarettes off the sun 
When night falls we'll go cruising 
And drink until we're numb 
And I'll make you 
Make you want me 
Want me until I'm done 

Here's your last attempt 
At keeping me at bay 
You're gonna chain me 
To every word I say 

Oh, my resolve is weak 
I always crack 
And I've been reading too much Nin 
And you Kerouak 

When you wake me in the morning 
I'll be motionless and cold 
You will bring to me some water 
Yeah, you'll do what you're told 
When I see you looking somber 
I'll say babe you're as good as gold 
But I can't see you again tonight 
I've got a reputation to uphold 

Then he whispered in my ear 
'You're a sly bitch, you are' 
So I drank away my headache 
And I stumbled out of his car 
Through the fogged up glass of the window 
He made a clearing with his hand 
And with his eyes he told me 
'One day you'll understand'
