Long ago I was told there were riches inside of me

Someone old hid the gold and the finding was my affair

In those days when my ears heard a story my mind believed

So I searched with my greed in the sunshine for all to see there



I'm in over my head in this game

Over my head

And I'm afraid I'm never gonna find my way back to where I've been



Yes you know many tried none succeeded my mind to train

When the fools came to lay down their money I laughed, uncool

Saw the mouth of the whale just in time to go down the drain

Now I float with my boat in the darkness and play the fool



I'm in over my head in this game

Over my head

And I'm afraid I'm never gonna find my way back to where I've been



I'm in over my head in this game

Over my head

And I'm afraid I'm never gonna find my way back to where I've been
