New gold dream
Oh, she’s the one in front of me, siren and the ecstasy
New gold dream
Ah, I hear crashing beats and fantasy, setting sun in front of me
New gold dream
C’mon dream in a dream with me
And the world goes hot
And when the city takes
And the beat goes crashing
All along that way
All along that way
She is your friend
Until the bitter end
And when you dream
Dream in a dream with me
And when we dream
Dream in a little dream

Ah, burning with an ecstasy, crashing beats and fantasy
Dream in a dream with me
New gold dream
C’mon, dream in a dream with me
And the world goes hot
And the city takes
And the beat goes crashing
All along that way
All along that way
She is your friend
Until the bitter end
She’s your friend
Until the bitter end
Until the ocean breaks
Until the city takes
With your new gold dream
With my new gold dream
With your new gold dream
With my new gold dream
