The Flaming Lips
The Gold in the Mountain of Our Madness

[Intro]
There we go

[Verse 1]
They started up the hill
With their young lives exploding still
They love to dream and run
They had the grass and the trees and the Sun
They dreamed of the gold they'd find (They dreamed of the gold)
At the top of the hill as they climbed
No one would ever doubt
Their spirit and strength could never run out
There they go

[Verse 2]
But the hill was steep and long
They never thought they'd be wrong
It wasn't a hill at all
It was a mountain a thousand feet tall
But with the gold still in their minds
They used their young lives to climb and climb
And by the time they got up to the peak
They were old and they were weak

[Verse 3]
There was no gold that they could find
It was all just in their minds
They had dreamed and they had loved (Dreamed and they had loved)
They found the grass and the trees and the Sun (Trees) (The Sun)
They said, "What do we do now?" (What do we do now?)
"Spend the rest of our lives climbing back down?" (Climb and climb back down)
"Or we can treasure what we find
And make it golden in our minds"
[Outro]
That's what we'll do
