Intro
x4
18 karat gold wouldn't fill the hole
The bleeding hole in her heart, that's made from cicumstances at home
Because they kept pulling her hair, and so it choked her words
She don't sleep at night, afraid to turn out the light
And she's home
x2
I thought 18 karat gold would save a lonely soul
But she don't sleep at night, afraid to turn out the light
Cause they kept pulling her hair, wouldn't leave her alone
But if only I could read her mind and release that stone
In her heart where the sadness grows, I'd operate with this knife
And cut a big fat giant hole, to fill with gold and light
But there's an endless battle to be won
And me I ain't a man with an educated mind
And soon, you won't have the strength to carry on
So you scream about it in the night
Oh, in the night ...
In the night ...
Oh, in the night ...
My 18 karat gold, it fills a dirty hole
A dirty bleeding hole in my heart, you people think it's made from circumstances at home
Well if someone ever should be pulling your hair, then I guess you should leave them alone
And now you want me to read your mind and release that stone
That stone in your heart where the sadness grows. You know I, I'd operate with this knife
And cut a big fat giant hole, to fill with gold and light
But there's an endless battle to be won
And me I ain't a man with an educated mind
And soon, you won't have the strength to carry on
And so you scream about it in the night
There's an endless battle to be won
And me I ain't a man with an educated mind
You won't have the strength to carry on
So you scream about it in the night
Oh, In the night ...
In the night ...
In the night ...
