lyrics

Feet in the mud, head in the clouds.
Do you feel my eyes on you?
Do you know the things I do?

I'm fool's gold, you're a diamond in the hot burning sun.
In the hot burning, in the hot burning, in the hot burning sun.

Well I know that you don't like me.
But why, I can't quite see.
Is it that I'm a clear and shallow pool?
And unlike me, you're a deep, dark sea?

I'm fool's gold, you're a diamond in the hot burning sun.
In the hot burning, in the hot burning, in the hot burning sun.

With the light in your eyes,
I'm like a moth to the fire.
And in the dirt, where we search and scour,
Will we find if it's awe or desire?

I'm fool's gold, you're a diamond in the hot burning sun.
In the hot burning, in the hot burning, in the hot burning sun.
