lyrics

the forgotten taste
of your porcelain waist
the charms on your wrist hang like stars
pounded out,
this unbearable doubt
lashes me into scars

I'm walkin' down the road
lookin' for the money that I'm owed
and I'm bound in leather and gold

unspeakable wealth
with silent stealth
lurks in the curls of your hair
and I'm headed south
straight into the mouth
of heaven's golden lair

spread unto the earth
immeasurable worth
so that you might not ever grow old
and I'm bound in leather and gold

a great poet once said
that he didn't have a head
that he was nothing but celestial chance
but the poor farmer found
that the human and the ground
are locked in a bestial dance

I go off into the woods
to bury my goods
so that they might not ever be sold
and I'm bound in leather
bound forever
bound by leather and gold
