Whirlwind dancing like a snake in the sky Whirlwind dancing like a snake Friend, don't you let another day go by Shaken that your heart might break Looking so hard that you can't see the picture A number with a magic touch Throwing gold bricks through a rich man's window Tragic when it don't add up But ain't we gold Ain't we blue Ain't life hard Ain't love true Baby, it's a good thing Baby, it's a good thing Baby, it's a good good thing I got you A carrot on a string, cartoon wealth Oh lord, a carrot on a string In churches learning how to hate yourself Ain't grace a wretched old thing? Whole wide world, stepping on toes Whole world stepping on toes Chewing up diamonds, shitting out coal Tell me where the time all goes But ain't we gold Ain't we blue Ain't life hard Ain't love true Baby, it's a good thing Baby, it's a good thing Baby, it's a good good thing I got you Whirlwind dancing like a snake in the sky Whirlwind dancing like a snake Friend, don't you let another day go by Shaken that your heart might break
