Fool's Gold - Lucy Dacus

I drank the dregs of the champagne alone

Warm, flat, coppery coins down my throat

I’m saving up for a rainy day

And I plan to spend it in one place

I threw the party so I could stay put

You brought the bottle like a promise I forgot

A new year begins, it ushers us in

The knot in my gut is coming with

He’ll blame the alcohol

And you’ll blame the full moon

She’ll blame the fall of man

And I’ll blame the part of you

That can’t let up on the reins

You’ve got life in a chokehold

You say that it’s all the same

All glittering fool’s gold

I can’t tell how big my heart is

Let’s open the door, see how many fit

Like drunks in a bathtub, keep piling in

Now I’m locking the door 'til the morning

He’ll blame the alcohol

And you’ll blame the full moon

She’ll blame the fall of man

And I’ll blame the evening news

For giving us doomsday

And dropping the ball

Building our fear

Like bricks in a wall

He’ll blame his mom and dad

And you’ll say you understand

She’ll blame the wrath of God

And I come up empty-handed

Every time he cries out

You’ll blame the altitude

She’ll blame society

And I blame the part of you

That can’t let up on the reins

You’ve got life in a chokehold

You say that it’s all the same

All glittering fool’s gold
