Gold Into Straw Lyrics

I'm writing the words to this song with a poison pen
I'm turning a straw into gold and then back again
When you used to be my friend
Before you turned your back on me in the endI'm building a box made of wood from a tree that I grew
I'm sewing the lining in silk that I spun just for you
And I lay you to rest
I put flowers on your chest, on your chestAnd it's happened again
Pull a fast one on me
And I've got to be dumb
If it's always in funI'm digging a hole with my hands six feet in the ground
I'm chiseling this epitaph for a stone that I found
Meet this friend indeed
May he rest in peace and get on withI'm learning to live with the guilt of remembering
I'm willing to try to forgive and forget this thing
That's gone too long
You were right, I was wrong, so wrongAnd it's happened again
Pull a fast one on me
And I've got to be dumb

If it's always in funBut enough's enough
Hold my breath while I pass
While I pass you byAnd it's happened again
Pull a fast one on me
You can undo what you've done
And it's always in funIf it happens again
Pull a fast one on me
Then I've got to be dumb
And in more ways than oneAnd it's always in fun
And in more ways than one
And it's always in fun
And in more ways than one
And it's always in fun
And in more ways than one
