Verse 2

Used to be a man could make his way,
With a barrel full of this black coal,
Half certain you'd say,
But in my reach, it
Hangs on, water falls down,
There's no gold,
In this barren town.

[-------------------]

Intro two more times, then the third verse:

Look at every angle and draw the square,
Find some nut you can instead untighten,
Watch me in the corner with a pair,
Under certain pressure ace, a diamond.
So run your fingers down my back,
You'd make such a cool distraction,
'cause in my reach it
Hangs on,
Yeah, the walls down,
But there's no gold,
There's a line drawn and crossed, by the banks.
By the way
Water falls down,
There's no gold, in this barren town.

Intro twice, then repeat solo, ending on D.
