Night Flight to Kabul

Is there gold, is there gold in Kabul? I've been there in a nest of snakes I've been there as a blackout artist Everyone tryna take my place Is there gold? Is there gold? I was there as a midnight watchman I was there for a masquerade I was there as a makeup artist Everyone trying to point the blame Is there gold? Is there gold? I sawed myself in halves I grew myself a pair of hooves You gave to me this gift I love you still, alone I drift Is there gold, gold in Kabul? I've been there in a suicide vest I've been there with a hangman rising Everyone tryna take the piss Is there gold? Is there gold? I sawed myself in halves I grew myself a pair of hooves You gave to me this gift I love you still, alone I drift You can walk from there to China From state to reptilian state Holy Americans, singing vespers Convinced that they control somebody's fate Is there gold? Is there gold? I sawed myself in halves I grew myself a pair of hooves You gave to me this gift I love you still, alone I drift Is there gold? Is there gold? Is there gold? Is there gold? Is there gold? Is there gold? --- Night Flight To Kabul - Mark Lanegan and Mark Lanegan Band
