Do you walk in the valley of kings?
       D#m
Do you walk in the shadow of men
     C#                    G#
who sold their lives to a dream?

Do you ponder the manner of things
In the dark
The dark, the dark, the dark

'Cause everybody's in the backroom's spinning up...

Don't know what you're asking for...
D#m
And everybody's in the front room's tripping out...
C#                          G#
You left your bottle at the door.

Cause everybody in the backroom's spinning out
Don't remember what you're asking for
And everybody in the front room's tripping out
You left your bottle at the door

Chorus

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Like glitter and gold
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Like glitter
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Like glitter and gold
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Like glitter
