it's over before it starts, oh don't you know

so on your marks, standby, ready, go

from London to New York, Montreal to Tokyo

i see visions of her everywhere i go.



what have i become (i become), now that i'm alone

i'm just looking for, a way to break through these walls

i'm just looking, for a place that i can call my home

is anybody out there got a soul, cuzim just lookin' for a girl

the girl with the heart of gold



she overturns once again with her, oh with her champagne taste, 

she goes straight down the rat hole

with her total recklessness, tomorrow will come on through

and i got nothing but a silhouette girl, met her in darkness, and i say



what have i become (i become), now that i'm alone

i'm just looking for, a way to break through these walls

i'm just looking, for a place that i can call my home

is anybody out there got a soul, cuzim just lookin' for a girl

the girl with the heart of gold

ya know, i'm just lookin' for the girl, the girl with the heart of gold



yeah i'm in a corner, i start over, start the whole thing clean

all the pain and heartache in all my years, i was always to blame

i dream of this girl, yeah an angelic ghost, met her in my neighborhood

i'm a downtown member at a drug lot, don't let me be misunderstood

i'm a downtown member at a party lot, don't let me be misunderstood



i'm just looking for, a way to break through these walls

i'm just looking, for a place that i can call my home

is anybody out there got a soul, ya know, 

i'm just looking for a girl, the girl with the heart of gold

i'm just lookin' for a girl, the girl with a heart of gold of gold
