Plenty of money gets a man what he wants Gold rings from Paris or Spain Don't follow too close to the hills up ahead It's a million more miles each way You can talk but be able to acknowledge the fact All the stories are written on sand Might be hard to believe, but your mind has been mapped By the people who taught you your name And when the darkness is near me I see your line much more clearly He's a man filled with sorrow Because he's born with a heart Tell everyone down in heaven That there is no explanation To be born with the fear of eternal decay Well I have heard all the stories, every current event What happens to men who betray They're hung my the heels from the top of the tent And a family denies them in shame I had a good time coming, but I must say goodbye The magic red rooster is dead And if we all come together when the terror arrives I will greet you, I'll love you, my friends But when the darkness is near me I see your line much more clearly He's a man filled with sorrow Because he's born with a heart Tell everyone down in heaven That there is no explanation To be born with the fear of eternal decay
