lyrics

A velvety hush under midnight skies, Til the chisel cracks and the crowbar pries. Wild, winged witnesses scatter to the wind and disappear in the night. Approaching the crypt with a sylph-like speed, I’m a rebel, a thief, a fast-dying breed. I’m Looking for baubles beneath these bones, but don’t you dare call it greed. Cause It’s hard to be a ghoul these days; Drastic times call for dust pick measures. And it’s hard when you’ve got bills to pay In a world of goblins hoarding treasures. I’m gonna go out; my pile of gold is going to grow bigger. Without a doubt, dear: I enjoy being a gold digger!

I wasn’t born suckling a silver spoon, So I found my own metal /mettle by the light of the moon And I never learned how a fortune was made until I picked up the spade. Cause it’s hard to be a ghoul these days In a world of monsters after what’s yours. It’s hard to keep the wolves at bay, but baby When the world gets hard, then I’ll dig harder. AND All that I’ve got, I’ll keep it guarded on a hair trigger: All in a day’s work for a hot-footed gold digger!
Here lie the earthly remains Of a wealthy one, so dearly departed. How can I feel any pangs of remorse When his things were so neatly discarded?

I’ll keep hid til I strike lid and I’ll never turn back Cause the paydirt’s too good and I look too good in black- and as long as there’s breath in this body I say I will keep slinging the clay. Cause it’s hard to be a ghoul these days In a world that’s cold and folks unwilling. Though it’s hard to find a means to pay With a nest egg forged from golden fillings, I’m gonna go out; my pile of gold is going to grow bigger. Without a doubt, dear. I enjoy being a gold digger.
