Gotta tell you a story, on a cold winter's night You'll be sailing for glory, before you know what is right So come over here now, I got a vision for you It's my personal snake oil, it's just something I do I'm a jester with no tears, and I'm preying on your fears I'm a trickster smiling underneath this mask of love and death The eternal lie I've told, about the pyramids of gold I've got you hooked at every turn, your mind is meant to burn You'll be wanting a contract, you'll be waiting a while I'd like to give you my contact, but that isn't my style Well you only get one chance, and it's too good to miss If I didn't lie to you, then I wouldn't exist Greed, lust and angry pride, it's the same old, same old way The smoke and mirrors, visions that you see are just like me I'm a clever banker's face, with just a little out of place I know someone just like you, know someone just like me Heatherado, come and play Heatherado, step this way Take a dip before the rain Heatherado, streets of gold See my ship is almost home You've got one last chance to try Heatherado, come and play Heatherado, step this way Take a dip before the rain Heatherado, streets of gold See my ship is almost home You've got one last chance to try Heatherado, streets of gold See my ship is almost home You've got one last chance to try Heatherado So God is the glory, and God is the gold Well, if you need a story, how come it has to be told? Well, you could say I'm a devil, and I wouldn't say no But out here on the dark side, hey, I'm gonna show So now my tale is told, big and fair and twice as bold This ship of fools is sinking as the cranks begin to grow There is no easy way for an honest man today But here's something you should think on as my black boat sails away Heatherado, come and play Heatherado, step this way Take a dip before the rain Heatherado, streets of gold See my ship is almost home You've got one last chance to try Heatherado, come and play Heatherado, step this way Take a dip before the rain Heatherado, streets of gold See my ship is almost home You've got one last chance to try Heatherado, step this way
