Everything seemed the same tonite 
And then the moon went out 
In the middle of the sky 
And the rain goin' up again 
Let it all come down, let it all come down 
You want to hear how the story goes 
You want to see how you're never told 
Where lies this fool's gold 

Everytime that you say goodbye, I sit and wonder why 
Why all this happiness, now there's nothing goin' on 
Everytime that you say goodbye, I'll sit and I'll get high 
High on the happy side again 

I hear the songs on the radio 
But they don't turn me on 
I hear the world's been shakin' up again 
And the deals been done, and the storm it has begun 
You want to hear how the story goes 
You want to see but you're never told 
Where lies this fools gold
