Golden Goose - Todd Rundgren

If you know how to catch a mouse

The world will beat a pathway to your door

But since the first one’s found our house

I can appreciate the saying more

I don’t know

What they expect to find

I don’t know

I can’t make up my mind

They say he’s got a special gift

But I don’t envy him at all

They started camping in the yard

They’ve got their ears pressed up against the wall

I don’t know

How long can this go on

I don’t know

How did it last this long

Everybody wants an egg from the golden goose

But no one cares if they’re the one who kills the golden goose

Everybody wants an egg from the golden goose

I wonder just how many eggs are in the golden goose?

A paparazzi’s at the door

He says he’s here from people magazine

And there’s some lady on the phone

Wants him to advertise designer jeans

I don’t know

How long can this go on

I don’t know

How did it last so long, yeah

Everybody wants an egg from the golden goose

But no one cares if they’re the one who kills the golden goose

Everybody wants an egg from the golden goose

I wonder just how many eggs are in the golden goose?
