My mind is falling off the earth
But my body won’t move at all
All these voices are telling me to stay in the fire
But my heart is telling me to go

Well I don’t need to impress anybody
I’m not worried about my soul
I’ve spent all my years concerned about other people’s smiles
It’s time that I worry about my own

They say this isn’t the way it works
My pockets have to be filled up with gold
But I’d rather have my body with my mind
Until the day when I get too old

So while they laugh at me and doubt my smile
That they think they’ve always seen, but don’t know
I’ll be standing right outside the fire
Throwing away all my gold
