Solid Gold Lyrics

This snake is wrapped around my neck
Solid gold
This snake is wrapped around your neck
Solid gold
This snake is wearing the body of a man
This man is you and you're holding hands

And as we grew up we learnt the rules
And now we're older we serve them too
It's time to move on and leave behind
This superstitious mind

This snake is wrapped around my neck
Solid gold
This snake is wrapped around your neck
Solid gold
This snake is wearing the body of a man
This man is you and you're holding hands

And for the good life you've lost your way
You've traded ethics and liberty
And what you're left with is emptiness
That's all that you've got left

This snake is wrapped around my neck
Solid gold
This snake is wrapped around your neck
Solid gold
This snake is wearing the body of a man
This man is you and you're holding hands

Yeah, you're holding hands
