It's over before it starts, oh, don't you know   So on your marks, stand by, ready, go   From London to New York, Montreal to Tokyo   I see visions of her, everywhere I go      What have I become? Now that I'm alone      Well, I'm just looking for a way to break on through these walls   And I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home   And has anybody out there got a soul?   'Cause I'm just lookin' for the girl, the girl with a heart of gold      She only dreams the one's that count with her   Her champagne tastes, she goes   Straight down the rat hole with her total recklessness   And the tomorrow will come on through   And I got nothing but a battered mentor   Nothing but a silhouette girl mentored in darkness, I sing      What have I become? Now that I'm alone      Well, I'm just looking for a way to break on through these walls   And I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home   And has anybody out there, got a soul?   'Cause I'm just looking for the girl, the girl with a heart of gold   I said, I'm just looking for the girl, the girl with a heart of gold      Yeah and I'm in the corner, I start over   Let's start the whole slate clean, yeah   All the pain and heartache in all my years, I was always to blame   And I dream of this girl, yeah an intelligent ghost   A [inaudible] chick to my neighborhood      I'm a downtown chamber in the front line   Oh, don't let me be misunderstood   Oh, I'm a downtown member in the front line   Eh, don't let me be misunderstood      Heart of gold      Well, I'm just looking for a way to break on through these walls   And I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home   And has anybody out there, got a soul?   'Cause I'm just looking for the girl, the girl with a heart of gold   I said, I'm just looking for the girl, the girl with a heart of gold
