Searching For A Heart Of Gold

i live out yonder where the snakes and scorpions run
got myself a little goldmine to bank on
one day my heart sank when i saw madame in town
i knew her love would be the death of mine

she promised me she would be there when i'd return
she didn't say she'd have a army there as well
she whispered, 'je t'aime, baby', as she fired that gun at me
'mais je n'ai plus de temps'
it's getting late and i'm running out of time

i should've stayed way out yonder better off
with the scorpions and snakes
every act which has no heart will be found out in the end
yes i'm a little late this time
cause her love would be the death of mine
mine, all mine
...
