He had chosen the wrong one,
Thinking he could take me for a run.
How wrong he'd turn to be,
Thinking he could get away from me.
I thought I'd follow him around,
To see what else he was putting down.
I followed him into the night.
I gotta make what's wrong in me feel right.
He's the golden man from the promised land,
I let him share my bed.
But he went away before I had time to say:
"Golden man, you'll wish you were dead."
"Golden man, you'll wish you were dead."
I called him in with mind to talk,
And felt his eyes move to the clock.
He always had a place to be
When he was running around on me.
But run he won't for long,
He's gonna feel what he's done wrong.
I slipped the lock through the door,
He won't be leaving anymore.
He's the golden man from the promised land,
I let him share my bed.
But he went away before I had time to say:
"Golden man, you'll wish you were dead."
"Golden man, you'll wish you were dead."
I was the wicked one.
I held my finger on the gun.
I sat him down, I watched him squirm.
Then set his house to burn.
As flames climbed through the house,
I showed him what fear was all about.
How wrong he'd turned to be –
He'll never get away from me.
He's the golden man from the promised land,
I let him share my bed.
But he went away before I had time to say:
"Golden man, you'll wish you were dead."
"Golden man, you'll wish you were dead."
"Golden man, you'll wish you were dead."
"Golden man, you'll wish you were dead."
"Golden man, you'll wish you were dead."
"Golden man, you'll wish you were dead."
"Golden man, you'll wish you were dead."
"Golden man, you'll wish you were dead."
"Golden man, you'll wish you were dead."
"Golden man, you'll wish you were dead."
"Golden man, you'll wish you were dead."
"Golden man, you'll wish you were dead."
"Golden man, you'll wish you were dead."
