Lyrics Fools Gold - Anders Osborne

I used to be silent
Now I feel hollow
It's getting hard to swallow
This educated jive
Give me a reason
To commit treason
And what I believe in
Is estimated pride
So make me a painter
Who lives on an island
House by the ocean
Gracefully old
And make a captain
Upon my obsessions
Remove my possessions
That clutters my soul
Stop chasing that fools gold
They gave me the courage
They were not that terrific
But it got me laid
I used to be sexy
Now every infects me
Nothing impresses me
'Cept getting pain
So make me a painter
Who lives on an island
House by the ocean
Gracefully old
And make a captain
Upon my obsessions
Remove my possessions
That clutters my soul
Stop chasing that fools gold
No I don't wanna be younger
Don't wanna live longer
Not sure I belong here
And maybe I don't
Go to Havana
Dance like I'm Spanish
Maybe I'll vanish
And no one would know
So make me a painter
Who lives on an island
House by the ocean
Gracefully old
And make a captain
Upon my obsessions
Remove my possessions
That clutters my soul
Stop chasing that fools gold
