Its over before it starts
Oh dont you know
Hold your marks and stand by
Ready to go
From london to new york, montreal, tokyo
I see visions of her everywhere i go

What have i become
Now that im alone
I just looking for a way of breaking through these walls
I just looking for a place that i can call my home
Is anybody out there got a soul
I just looking for love, girl
The girl with a heart of gold

She over turns once again with her champagne taste
She goes straight down the rat hole with her
Total wrecklessness and a
Tomorrow will come on through
And i got nothing but a pain
Nothing but a silhouette girl
Met her in the darkness
I say...

What have i become
Now that im all alone
I just looking for a way of breaking through these walls
I just looking for a place i can call my home
Is anybody out there got a soul
I just looking for love, girl
The girl with a heart of gold

Yeah I'm in the corner I start over
I start the whole slate clean
All the pain and heartache in all my years
I was always to blame
And I dream of this girl
Yeah an angelical ghost
I met her in my neighborhood
I'm a downtown member ?
Don't let me be misunderstood
Oh, I'm a downtown member ?
Don't let me be misunderstood

Heart of gold!

What have i become
Now that im all alone
I just looking for a way of breaking through these walls
I just looking for a place i can call my home
Is anybody out there got a soul
I just looking for love, girl
The girl with a heart of gold
