00:10In the hills where the lights never sleep
00:17They pour the promise no mortal should keep
00:45They climb the mountain of broken dreams
00:49Chasing the glow of the silver screens
00:53They whisper of forever in a crystal cup
00:57One sip and the ordinary never wakes up
01:01They offered the gold three times to the girl who once sang
01:06Behind the orange bars of the world
01:09She looked at the liquid that shimmered like sin and said
01:13Nothing in my life ever came that easy
01:17I won't drink it in
01:21They told her the juice would make her a star
01:26Live forever, have everything
01:29No scars but the ones who refuse
01:33They feel the cold
01:35They hear the warnings from the ones who already sow
01:39They drink the golden juice
01:43They trade the soul for the spotlight
01:46They never rage, they never bruise
01:51While the rest of us live and die in the night
01:56They drink the golden juice
01:59The contract written in the dark
02:02The stars you worship are not what they seem
02:06They're wearing new faces
02:25They're wearing new faces living the dream
02:36Souls that jump when the vessel gets rich
02:40The old magician's teachings still run the town
02:44Every man a star until the star comes down
02:49They offer the gold when the hunger was strong
02:53Fame and forever for a lifetime song
02:57But the ones who refuse still walk among us
03:01Carrying the truth that the rest won't discuss
03:06They drink the golden juice
03:09They trade the soul for the spotlight
03:12They never rage, they never bruise
03:17While the rest of us live and die in the night
03:22They drink the golden juice
03:25The contract written in the dark
03:28The stars you worship are not what they seem
03:32They're wearing new faces living the dream
03:37They drink the golden juice
03:43Look at the faces that never change
03:45Decade after decade still the same
03:47Look at the ones who spoke and fell
03:49The warnings written on the freeway wall
03:51It's not a metaphor, it's not a game
03:53The juice is real and so is the claim
03:55They sell the soul for the endless night
03:57And the ones who know
03:59They live in the light
04:04They drink the golden juice
04:07They trade the soul for the spotlight
04:11They never rage, they never bruise
04:14While the rest of us live and die in the night
04:20They drink the golden juice
04:23The contract written in the dark
04:26Now you see it
04:27Now you know the name of the game
04:30The stars you worship are not what they seem
04:34They're wearing new faces
04:38They're wearing new faces
04:41Living the dream
04:42Living the dream
04:43They drink the golden juice
04:46They drink the golden juice
04:50They offered the gold three times
04:55When she walked away
04:58And she walked away
05:00The ones who know
05:02Already knew
05:07Now you do too
05:22Now you do too
