Golden Boy Lyrics

The song Golden Boy is performed by Natalie Merchant in the album named Motherland in the year 2001 .



Top of the fold
Toast of the town
Everyone stops when you come around
They hold their breath for you

Heroes are born, idols are made
We're all fools for this factory fame
And you've got the brand new face
You've got the brand new face, golden boy

Beauty untamed stupid and wild
Poster boy, you're society's child
Cut your teeth, cut your mouth
Cut it out

Meteor rise from obscurity
All it took was a killing spree
And the whole world was lying
At your feet, golden boy

I know my place stick to my lines
Stay in your shadow
Don't block your light
So you can shine divine, golden boy
