So thought I’d come and meet you
since you called to me by name
come drown in your sunlight
old glittering and insane
It’s no secret there’s something about you
your fire, your fame
billboards, starred sidewalks
cruel citizens drain
Lately I
bought a ticket to your gold asylum
lately I
yeah to your gold asylum
I can’t help but tune into
your sweet silent static station
your melody enchants me
hypnotic mind elation
You I could spend entire lifetimes
analysing every word you said
so take me in this darkness
where saints fear to tread
Lately I
bought a ticket to your gold asylum
lately I
yeah to your gold asylum
So at night I walk your streets
it’s like walking through your veins
and the smoke licks its tongue around me
you see now that I've got the taste
now that I've got the taste
I wanna sink my teeth in
sink them in
I wanna see what colour it makes
Lately I
bought a ticket to your gold asylum
lately I
yeah to your gold asylum
