Shiny Things Songtext
von Ironstone

The point of attraction is hard to define
You follow a light when it catches your eye

My expectations misaligned
There is no substance I can find

It shows
All that glitters isn′t gold
As I dig deeper I grow
Shiny things are getting old
And you've just lost your glow
Glow

I suspect that you
See distorted truth
Void of reality
The way you see yourself
Is but a dream


All on your own
All on your own
The iron′s on but no-one's home
And you don't even feel bad
You′re in wonderland
Head first in the sand
Shattering your sense of worth
Bring your heightened pride
Back to earth

My expectations misaligned
There is no substance I can find

It shows
All that glitters isn′t gold
As I dig deeper I grow
Shiny things are getting old
And you've just lost your glow

Does it make you feel better?
Control to the letter
The way you appear in their eyes
Yeah

It just goes to show
All that glitters isn′t gold
As I dig deeper I grow
Shiny things are getting old
And you've just lost your glow
All that glitters isn′t golden no
Shiny things are getting older now
