Ain't We Gold - John Moreland

Whirlwind dancing like a snake in the sky

Whirlwind dancing like a snake

Friend, don’t you let another day go by

Shaken that your heart might break

Looking so hard that you can’t see the picture

A number with a magic touch

Throwing gold bricks through a rich man’s window

Tragic when it don’t add up

But ain’t we gold

Ain’t we blue

Ain’t life hard

Ain’t love true

Baby, it’s a good thing

Baby, it’s a good thing

Baby, it’s a good good thing I got you

A carrot on a string, cartoon wealth

Oh lord, a carrot on a string

In churches learning how to hate yourself

Ain’t grace a wretched old thing?

Whole wide world, stepping on toes

Whole world stepping on toes

Chewing up diamonds, shitting out coal

Tell me where the time all goes
