Black Gold Follow

You play the fool again*
And hide behind your friends
You say you walked away
But that's not on your face

You're waiting for the sign
To leave them all behind
You shudder all the way
And wonder what they'll say

You have your chance
To wash the stars away,
But it's too late

Everybody
Wants to touch your hand
But don't you worry
About the talk behind your back
'til it's too late

Now you're bracing for the fall
They're blinded by it all
You're frozen by the fear
Of what they want to hear

You had your chance
To wash the stars away,
But it's too late

But don't you worry
About the talk behind your back
You're all alone now
Living in the past
'Now it's too late

Fast as they can
Slipped from your hands
And left you bare
Now yesterday is all you have
But it's too late,
Now you're too late

Everybody
Wants to touch your hand
But don't you worry
About the talk behind your back
You're all alone now
Living in the past
Now you're too late
And everyone who touched your hands
Now it's too late
Is talking now behind your back
Now it's too late
Alone and living in the past
Now you're too late

You play the fool again*
And hide behind your friends
You say you walked away
