dustydreamsanddirtyscars:

“Two hundred miles around the sun
Always in the lead
Atop of all the wreckage
He’s who everybody pays to see

He’s gonna be the best
That’s what everyone would say
Trouble with the turns
But recovers on the straightaway
Showered in the sparkling rain
He says:

Cover me in gold
Cover me in gold
Turned another corner
And I’m never coming back

One day it went awry
Something came off track
Wheels continued spinning
But then they never started bouncing back

There’s a shiny little box
Underneath the bed
A harvester of sorrow
Filled with tiny little drops of lead
Embedded to his temple
He said

Cover me in gold
Cover me in gold
Cover me in gold
Cover me in gold
Turned another corner
And I’m never coming back

When the cover up was done
Everybody lied
They could take away the evidence
It still would never make it right”

I fell in love with this song instantly when Steve played it at JIB, so the first thing I did when I got home was dowloading it. From the first chord played I knew this song would be a favourite of mine. Funny how you know such things immediately. :)

Oh, and I absolutely LOVE the lyrics.
