18 Karat Gold

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...
