Lyrics The Cat Empire - Brighter than Gold

Brighter than gold

Four steps in the morning
Two steps in the day
Three steps in the evening and the darkness is ablaze
And all the angels cease, soldiers come step to the parade

Run out like a cheetah
Monkey's in the blood
And what a piece of work is man
who screams the name of love
And all his brothers, cousins, sisters and others
hear it's fuzz

All night awake
In the moonlight I'm with you
In the moonlight I'm with you
Brighter than gold!

Born on the horizon
Beam me through the sky
Some have seen what none can dream
but life calls it a lie
And all the sinners, saints and winners
just wink and walk on by

Brando's in the forest, Nancy's in the flood
The black swan makes a pirouette,
the gods cry from above
And the rain keeps falling on bare feet in the mud

All night awake
In the moonlight I'm with you
In the moonlight I'm with you
Brighter than gold!

Come Northern nights from Norway
Come sunrise from the East
Come Wicked Witches in the West,
we're South-bound with the beat
And all the lions, prides and preachers
come down into the street

All night awake
In the moonlight I'm with you
In the moonlight I'm with you
Brighter than

All night awake
In the moonlight I'm with you
In the moonlight I'm with you
Brighter than gold!
