You parted seas but your arches, they ain't golden (ah)

AD
There's a hole in your pocket, so you cannot find the change
AD
Cavern of your mind, you say your pattern
AD
You pull your strings and you jump, hold your mouth and you say
BBb
"What was scripted, the day before it happened?"
AD
We all give applause when people look and pause
AD
But on the way out and get your back in
AD
See, everything in life ain't silver and gold
BBb
But minin' for metal gave you platinum
