Corozon De Oro
NOFX · BYO Split Series III [2002]
It's over before it starts, oh, don't you know
So on your marks, stand by, ready, go
From London to New York, Montreal to Tokyo
I see visions of her, everywhere I go
What have I become? Now that I'm alone
Well, I'm just looking for a way to break on through these walls
And I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home
And has anybody out there got a soul?
'Cause I'm just lookin' for the girl, the girl with a heart of gold
She only dreams the one's that count with her
Her champagne tastes, she goes
Straight down the rat hole with her total recklessness
And the tomorrow will come on through
And I got nothing but a battered mentor
Nothing but a silhouette girl mentored in darkness, I sing
What have I become? Now that I'm alone
Well, I'm just looking for a way to break on through these walls
And I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home
And has anybody out there, got a soul?
'Cause I'm just looking for the girl, the girl with a heart of gold
I said, I'm just looking for the girl, the girl with a heart of gold
Yeah and I'm in the corner, I start over
Let's start the whole slate clean, yeah
All the pain and heartache in all my years, I was always to blame
And I dream of this girl, yeah an intelligent ghost
A [inaudible] chick to my neighborhood
I'm a downtown chamber in the front line
Oh, don't let me be misunderstood
Oh, I'm a downtown member in the front line
Eh, don't let me be misunderstood
Heart of gold
Well, I'm just looking for a way to break on through these walls
And I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home
And has anybody out there, got a soul?
'Cause I'm just looking for the girl, the girl with a heart of gold
I said, I'm just looking for the girl, the girl with a heart of gold
So on your marks, stand by, ready, go
From London to New York, Montreal to Tokyo
I see visions of her, everywhere I go
What have I become? Now that I'm alone
Well, I'm just looking for a way to break on through these walls
And I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home
And has anybody out there got a soul?
'Cause I'm just lookin' for the girl, the girl with a heart of gold
She only dreams the one's that count with her
Her champagne tastes, she goes
Straight down the rat hole with her total recklessness
And the tomorrow will come on through

Nothing but a silhouette girl mentored in darkness, I sing
