  • But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one
    I asked her where it goes 'cause I really want
    I wonder if she knows that we're underwater
    That's the way it goes in this city wonder

    Moved to the spot, I'm one of a few
    A whole lot of everything, but nothin' to do
    Tilted in a Tesla, partner, ex-wrestler
    He dates Francesca, they on the Xannies
    Liposuction scheduled for Granny
    She want to save some, add to her fanny
    Girls' trip, Miami at the end of the year
    Polluted-filled skies, tryin' to think clear
    I heard the bad news while I was sheddin' a beer
    Watch out from the coast, Paul Revere
    We all play a part in the devil's cheer
    Run to the hills 'cause the end is near

    But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one
    I asked her where it goes 'cause I really want
    I wonder if she knows that we're underwater
    That's the way it goes in this city wonder

    Yo, a desolate city where it hurts to smile
    Ran into the Reverend, says it's been a while
    I'm reining in a rando', she's a social scandal
    Gave ourselves a handout when it's too much to bear
    ABC boys raided the mayor
    Like Shaun, he's a Ryder, took on the dare
    Now he's singin' like a birdy, pullin' on his hair
    Trendin' on Twitter's what some of us live for
    Friendship's here, but now fuckin' revolving door
    All of this a joke? Pauly Shore
    Bullshit keeps comin', maybe I'm a matador
    What are we livin' for?

    Are we all losing our minds?
    Because life got in the way
    (Hey, hey, hey)
    They will be here just in time
    Your replacement is here to stay (ahh)

    New gold, fool's gold
    Everything will disappear (new gold)
    Someone's out here
    Who traveled far too many years (new gold)
    To nowhere, nowhere (new gold, new gold)
    Nothing here is ever real (new gold)
    New gold, fool's gold (new gold)
    Everything will disappear, disappear
    Disappear, disappear, disappear
    Disappear, disappear, disappear
    Disappear, disappear, disappear, disappear

    But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one
    I asked her where it goes 'cause I really want
    I wonder if she knows that we're underwater
    That's the way it goes in this city wonder (new gold)

    But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one (new gold, new gold, new gold)
    I ask her where it goes 'cause I really want (new gold, new gold, new gold)
    I wonder if she knows that we're underwater (new gold, new gold, new gold)
    That's the way it goes in this city wonder (new gold, new gold, new gold)

    In the magic cove, there's a pretty one (new gold, fool's gold)
    I ask her where it goes 'cause I really want (everything will disappear)
    I wonder if she knows that we're underwater (someone's out here)
    That's the way it goes in this city wonder (who travelled far too many years)

    But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one (to nowhere, nowhere)
    I ask her where it goes 'cause I really want (nothing here is ever real)
    I wonder if she knows that we're underwater (new gold, fool's gold)
    That's the way it goes in this city wonder (everything will disappear) Writer/s: Damon Albarn, Greg Kurstin, Kevin Parker, Romye Robinson
