Songtext Brighter than gold The Cat Empire

Brighter than gold

(Verse)
Four steps in the morning,
Two steps in the day,
Three steps in the evening,
The darkness is a’blazing all the angels’ seats
And soldiers come step to the parade.

I run out like a cheetah,
Monkeys in the blood.
What a piece of work is man
Who screams in name of love.
But all his brothers, cousins, sisters, and others hear his fuzz.

(Chorus)
All night awake,
In the moonlight I’m with you,
In the moonlight I’m with you brighter than gold.

(Verse)
Born on the horizon,
Beaming through the sky
Someone’s seen what none can dream,
But light calls it a lie
And all the sinners, saints and winners,
Just wait to walk on by.

The Brando’s in the forest,
And Nancy’s in the flood
The black swan makes a pirouette
The gods cry from above
And all the rain keeps falling,
I’m bare-feet in the mud.

(Chorus)
All night awake,
In the moonlight I’m with you,
In the moonlight I’m with you brighter than gold.

(Bridge)
Come northern lights of Norway
Come sunrise to the East
Come wicked witches in the west.
West-south time with a beat
And all the lions, riots and preachers come down into the street.

(Chorus)
All night awake,
In the moonlight I’m with you,
In the moonlight I’m with you brighter than gold.
All night awake,
In the moonlight I’m with you,
In the moonlight I’m with you brighter than gold.
