[Verse 1]

He put a cork inside a bottle, with a note and sailed it off to sea

Sat a couple hours to make sandcastles on the beach

With Her Highness, fingers fibres in her bathers

Latherin’ the coconut oil on her whole world

At least for that moment, pat-a-cakin’, playin’ dunce

Syncopated love makin’, toes rakin’, burnin’ hugs

Looked up to the sky in all its mirror-ball glory

Joins dots ‘til the chaos structures into human stories

Built back when the reasoning was seasonal

Based upon the corn crops, too hot for a toga

Flags its whole existence on a stack of pegs and pistons

‘Til the last lackin’ logic is snapped in with the mystic

And he thinks the zodiacs just a Clipsal switch for your backbone

In case you get a shock and the gelatin turns jelly mould

But while he looks up and she’s nestled in his curves

The solar system interjects and throws a spanner in the works

Wisdom ate the anarchist, broke the activist

Sent him slammin’ into space with a jetpack and a broken wit

Navigating life times, growing past a Christ

That crystalised in past times, made a mess of modern life

So what is he seeing now? Lips detach from pash

Stares out at will from a badly built habitat

Candy bars and table scraps feed the world’s orphans

While he’s laying on the sand, suddenly he understands


[Chorus]

There’s a heart of gold

There’s a heart of gold


[Verse 2]

He stops rollin’ in the sand for a second

She’s tuggin’ at his arm sayin’ “What’s up, baby? Are we not havin’ fun?

How come? Why, hun? Is it me?”

While he’s starin’ into space as the stars merge as one

This light is flash heavy, brutal as a dentist chair

Paralyses pupils, both of them just lyin’ there

Stunned a metre off the ground, levitating

Two bugs to a lamplight at a campsite, avoiding Aerogard pumps

Lifting to a spinning disc many miles up

Curious of characters naked on a picnic rug

That morphed to flying carpet, arm of light outstretched

Beckoning its subjects to nestle in its breast

Unidentified and flying, Da Vinci quizzed design

Evermore the glory that the human mind can pine

And it’s bible floggin’ horse, forced from its discourse

Calls the whole universe in to finally combine

They make it to the hatch down the base of the ship

Soaked in artificial, beyond missiles and vicious

Incandescent light purrin’ its well wishes

Into their stem cells where fear fell with the split second

They accidentally engaged this highest of all missions

By outputting an energy higher than our life’s wisdom

When a couple cuddled so hard, with grinds and gyration

They brought about a new dawn of Interplanetary Relations


[Bridge]

With a little touch and feel

Between true love hearts, not the hallmark deal

We come in peace, nice to meet ya, though we can’t communicate in speech

Determinable common in the logic we keep

And while you’re still a young species, still learnin’ the ropes

All you need to know is that we ripple with you

In the thick of all this macrocosmic science undefinable by human life

You’re simply trying to find


[Chorus]

A heart of gold

In a heart of gold


[Interlude]

Now we need you to listen very carefully to what we’re about to tell you

We apologise for speaking down to you

But this needs to be said


[Verse 3]

Now build a bridge between your people quick, before the sickly sit

Within an unrealistic nausea encased prophetic portion

Of your order building mechanism, grinding to a halt

Passed around a peak of evil meters shitting wealth

Borrowing from borrowers who borrow what they’re owing

While manhandling blueprints that should be common knowledge

When paper trails are secondary, foreseen and legendary

Fellowship, buried deep with a paperclip and a vacant seat

Bedlam is all you’ll meet with mineral rape and loveless meat

Animal torture onslaught ‘til synthetic and store bought

Piss pedalled for coin fraud, trade could’ve been resource

All routes can reboot with a down time worth shortfall

And it’s all yours, right here, in a single note composed

As ancient as time itself and a time gone borrowed

Open source, obvious, decoded long before

Your arrogance surpassed the might of man by sleight of hand
