Lyrics Golden Boy - Barenaked Ladies

Golden Boy

Hey, Golden Boy
Don’t let the darkness in to take you away from yourself
Nobody else, there’s nobody left to make you run
Somebody new, maybe it’s you
Only bereft of meaning
One of these days
You’re gonna wake up wondering how it went down
Then in a daze
You’re gonna make up something
And wallow around in your room
Maybe it’s soon
Or maybe it won’t be for some time
I hope you’ll be thinking of me
And I hope you won’t be lonely
Hang your head
But don’t let your hair fall out
Just hang your hat
At somebody else’s house
Game, set, and match
I’ll have to give that to you
You are the man
Wait, there’s a catch
Everyone sees right through you
But that was the plan all along
Tell me I’m wrong
Tell me you wanted something else
You entered the code
That made you explode
Now I hope you won’t be lonely anymore
Hang your head
But don’t let your hair fall out
Just hang your hat
At somebody else’s house
No, no, no, you’re not a quitter
So, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t you be bitter
Go, go, go where you glitter away
Hang your head
But don’t let your hair fall out
Just hang your hat
At somebody else’s house
Hang your head
But don’t let your hair fall out
Just hang your hat
At somebody else’s house
Somebody else’s house
Somebody else’s house
