Gold on the Ceiling (BBC Session) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Down in the waves
She screams again
Roar at the door
My mind can't take much more

[Refrain]
I could never drown in

[Pre-Chorus]
They wanna get my
They wanna get my

[Chorus]
Gold on the ceiling
I ain't blind, it's just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It's alright, ain't no guarding my—

[Verse 2]
Clouds covered love's
Barb-wired snare
Strung up, strung out
I just can’t go without

[Refrain]
I could never drown in
See The Black Keys Live
Get tickets as low as $70
[Pre-Chorus]
They wanna get my
They wanna get my

[Chorus]
Gold on the ceiling
I ain't blind, it's just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It's alright, ain't no guarding my—

[Pre-Chorus]
They wanna get my
They wanna get my

[Chorus]
Gold on the ceiling
I ain't blind, it's just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It's alright, ain't no guarding my
Gold on the ceiling
I ain't blind, it's just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It's alright, ain't no guarding my high

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
