Idols Lyrics - Rush - Black Gold

You play the fool again* 

And hide behind your friends 

You say you walked away 

But that's not on your face 

You're waiting for the sign 

To leave them all behind 

You shudder all the way 

And wonder what they'll say 

You have your chance 

To wash the stars away, 

But it's too late 

Everybody 

Wants to touch your hand 

But don't you worry 

About the talk behind your back 

'til it's too late 

Now you're bracing for the fall 

They're blinded by it all 

You're frozen by the fear 

Of what they want to hear 

You had your chance 

To wash the stars away, 

But it's too late 

Everybody wants to touch your hand 

But don't you worry 

About the talk behind your back 

You're all alone now 

Living in the past 

'Now it's too late 

Fast as they can 

Slipped from your hands 

And left you bare 

Now yesterday is all you have 

But it's too late, 

Now you're too late 

Everybody 

Wants to touch your hand 

But don't you worry 

About the talk behind your back 

You're all alone now 

Living in the past 

Now you're too late 

And everyone who touched your hands 

Now it's too late 

Is talking now behind your back 

Now it's too late 

Alone and living in the past 

Now you're too late
