18 karat gold wouldn't fill the hole 
The bleeding hole in her heart 
That's made from circumstances at home 
Cus they kept pulling her hair 
So they choked her words 
She don't sleep at night, afraid to turn out the light 
And she's home

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

Ohh in the night.... 
In the night.... 
Ohh 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. 
Fill with gold and light

But there's an endless battle to be won 
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

Next endless battle to be won 
I ain't a man with an educated mind 
And you won't have the strength to carry on 
So you scream about it in the night

Ohh in the night
Ohh in the night
In the night
