I've got a house in the back of my head,
but I can't find a permanant resident.
'cause the markets down,
and the area's not so good these days.
I've got a watch but I don't have time.
I've got a road and it leads to decadence,
but a dead end sign waits down the line I'll
leave my foot prints for the evidence.

[Chorus]
So take my life, I'll hand it to you.
and you can try on my clothes,
but you can't fill these shoes.
on a silver platter your wish came true,
see your heart of gold turn platinum
you can take my life
(ohhhh)
but you can't take it with you.

More long days and fleeding nights
I tell them "wake me under flashing lights"
'cause I'm a brand name bought and sold.
They say a face for fame is a cryin shame
because you face the crowd just to play their game
and I can play a little to rough, not and again
(every now and again)
you drank the poison and I let you in,

[Chorus]
To take my life, I'll hand it to you.
and you can try on my clothes,
but you can't fill these shoes.
on a silver platter your wish came true,
see your heart of gold turn platinum
you can take my life
(ohhhh)
but you can't take it with you.

You drank the poison and I
I let you in,
would you trade that heart of gold
for a minute in my skin?
you drank the poison and I
I let you in,
would you trade that heart of gold
for a minute in my skin?

[Chorus]
So take my life, I'll hand it to you.
and you can try on my clothes,
but you can't fill these shoes.
on a silver platter your wish came true,
see your heart of gold turn platinum
you can take my life
(ohhhh)
but you can't take it with you.
