Treasure Trip


Sung by Bobby Gillespie
Written by Gillespie/Beattie

Your desires
That were realised the day
That you exchanged
The very core of yourself away
Till nothing more remained
Of your past life
As all of the friends around
Fell one by one as
you made your way up the stairway

Everything you wanted to
came true for you and your endeavour
Till it all came home to you
that it could never last forever

It's too late
because yesterday has vanished for all time
But today and tomorrow
welcome you and your decline
What a shame, who's to blame
for your state of being
Where are the friends you once had
now you really need them

Everything you wanted to
came true for you and your endeavour
Till it all came home to you
that it could never last forever
