Intro
   x4


                                          
18 karat gold wouldn't fill the hole
                                                          
                                                
The bleeding hole in her heart, that's made from cicumstances at home
                                                
                                        
Because they kept pulling her hair, and so it choked her words
                                                
                      
She don't sleep at night, afraid to turn out the light
                                   
And she's home

I thought 18 karat gold would save a lonely soul
                                                
                             
But she don't sleep at night, afraid to turn out the light
                                                
                                 
Cause they kept pulling her hair, wouldn't leave her alone
                                                
                          
But if only I could read her mind and release that stone


                                                            
                                 
In her heart where the sadness grows, I'd operate with this knife
                                                          
                 
And cut a big fat giant hole, to fill with gold and light


                                                      
But there's an endless battle to be won
                                                              
And me I ain't a man with an educated mind
                                                                    
      
And soon, you won't have the strength to carry on
                                                       
   
So you scream about it in the night


                                    
Oh, in the night ...
                            
In the night ...
                                         
Oh, in the night ...


                                            
My 18 karat gold, it fills a dirty hole
                                                          
                                                                              
  
A dirty bleeding hole in my heart, you people think it's made from circumstances at home
                                                                     
                                                                   
    
Well if someone ever should be pulling your hair, then I guess you should leave them alone
                                                          
                                
And now you want me to read your mind and release that stone


                                                                             
                                                              
That stone in your heart where the sadness grows. You know I, I'd operate with this knife
                                                          
                  
And cut a big fat giant hole, to fill with gold and light


                                                      
But there's an endless battle to be won
                                                              
And me I ain't a man with an educated mind
                                                                    
      
And soon, you won't have the strength to carry on
                                                        
And so you scream about it in the night


                                           
There's an endless battle to be won
                                                              
And me I ain't a man with an educated mind
                                                        
You won't have the strength to carry on
                                                       
   
So you scream about it in the night

                                    
Oh, In the night ...
                            
In the night ...
                            
In the night ...
