Cool Treasure Lyrics

when i sleep, there's a pair of boots at my bedside cooling down
when i dream, i'm a thunder strike in a quiet one-horse town
there is no one within a stones throw who knows my face
i'm on snow caps atop mountains before your best men wake

there is milk at the mountain-tops
that you shouldn't taste, but you gotta see
there are cracks in the mountain-side
that you overlooked, that are known to me
when you unearth it, will it be worth it
if i have held it? (cool treasure)
when you resurface, what is the purpose?
you cannot sell it (cool treasure)

with rewards on your mind, do you carry open hands?
it's on you, not on them
you should place your great demands

those quiet streams that sprinkle patient pans with gold
that fountain spring that pours its' youth inside the old
this life is long enough and gold could never shine
as bright as that which lights the days across my time

at the center of our earth there's another world to explore
it's a foreign land to a normal man
and it waits behind that door

at the center of our earth there's another world to explore
(cool treasure is mine to be had)
it's a foreign land to a normal man
and it waits behind that door
(i've waited a long time down here)
at the center of our earth there's another world to explore
(to see what has touched my brain)
it's a foreign land to a normal man
and it waits behind that door

(cool treasure is mine to be had
i've waited a long time down here
to see what has touched my brain
cool treasure is mine to be had
i've waited a long time down here...)
