lyrics

Smoke patterns everywhere
Opium billows
I’m just another fool
Who’s drowned in your pillow

The rolling of your onyx eyes
It feels like sunrise
The waking of a new day for me

But wading through your childish lies
Just got me chastised
Thinking I could make you see

That you’re golden
And you’re cruel
Cause you’re precious
You’re a fool

You’re my samurai
I’m that gleam in your eye
And I’m holding on
Cause you’re golden
You’re golden
You’re golden

And you’re cruel
Cause you’re precious
You’re a fool
I’m your superglue
You’re my Kind Of Blue
And no one could be better for me than you

Your bed is like quicksand
Your tears are like honey
You’ll suddenly scream in my face
Cause you think that’s funny

Whiskey shots and butter beers
Raindrop tears
Come to hurl your troubles at me

Clutching at your pouring face
I feel your heart race
Begging that, one day, you will see

That you’re golden
And you’re cruel
Cause you’re precious
You’re a fool

You’re my samurai
I’m that gleam in your eye
And I’m holding on
Cause you’re golden
You’re golden
You’re golden

And you’re cruel
Cause you’re precious
You’re a fool
I’m your superglue
You’re my Kind Of Blue
And no one could be better for me than you

I’m on the landing
Dialing your number
Wondering where the hell you are

Maybe you’re quenching
Your thirst for the twisted
Maybe you’re feeling frail again
Maybe your love’s grown stale again

That you’re golden
And you’re cruel
Cause you’re precious
You’re a fool

You’re my samurai
I’m that gleam in your eye
And I’m holding on
Cause you’re golden
You’re golden
You’re golden

And you’re cruel
Cause you’re precious
You’re a fool
I’m your superglue
You’re my Kind Of Blue
And no one could be better for me than you
