take everything   ordinary things   shake it all off   out of sight      hear the sounds of people singing   beautiful as gold      i separate my mind   from the fires of life   hold me down   hold my tongue   it's fading in and out      hear the sounds of people singing   the sweetest melody   it's all over me   in my dreams i see white castles   beautiful as gold      hold me down   hold my tongue   it's fading in and out   i separate my mind      hear the sounds of people singing   the sweetest melody   it's all over me   in my dreams i see white castles   beautiful as gold   when my time comes   i will be singing along with them   to a chorus that is so beautiful   so beautiful…   as gold
