Gold Dust Woman (Live at The Forum, Inglewood, CA 8/29/77) Lyrics

Rock on, Gold Dust Woman
Take your silver spoon and dig your grave

Rulers make bad lovers
You better put your kingdom up for sale

Wake up in the morning
See your sunrise loves to go down

Lousy lovers pick their prey
But they never cry out loud, cry out loud

Well, did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
Is it over now, do you know how?
Pick up the pieces and go home

Rock on, ancient queen
Follow those who pale in your shadow

Rulers make bad lovers
You better push your kingdom up for sale, up for sale

Well, did she make you cry?
Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
And is it over now, do you know how?
Pick up the pieces and go home?

But did she make you cry?
Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
And now tell me, is it over now?
Do you know how to pick up the pieces?
And go home? Go home, and go home

Shadow of a woman
Black widow, ooh
Pale shadow of a dragon
Dust woman, ooh

Pale shadow of a woman
Black widow, ooh
Pale shadow, she's a dragon
Gold Dust woman
Woman, woman

Ehhh-ehh-ahh

Ehhh-ehh-ahh

Oohh-ahh-ahh

(Ah-ah-ah-aahh)
