Fool's Gold

I drank the dregs of the champagne alone
 Warm, flat, coppery coins down my throat
 I'm saving up for a rainy day
 And I plan to spend it in one place
 
 I threw the party so I could stay put
 You brought the bottle like a promise I forgot
 A new year begins, it ushers us in
 The knot in my gut is coming with
 He'll blame the alcohol
 And you'll blame the full moon
 She'll blame the fall of man
 And I'll blame the part of you
 That can't let up on the reins
 You've got life in a chokehold
 You say that it's all the same
 All glittering fool's gold
 I can't tell how big my heart is
 
 Let's open the doors, see how many fit
 Like drunks in a bathtub, keep piling in
 Now I'm locking the door 'til the morning
 He'll blame the alcohol
 And you'll blame the full moon
 She'll blame the fall of man
 And I blame the evening news
 For giving us doomsday
 And dropping the ball
 Building our fear
 Like bricks in a wall
 He'll blame his mom and dad
 And you'll say you understand
 She'll blame the wrath of God
 And I come up empty-handed
 Every time he cries out
 You'll blame the altitude
 She'll blame society
 And I blame the part of you
 That can't let up on the reins
 You've got life in a chokehold
 
 You say that it's all the same
 All glittering fool's gold
