All the Treasures Lyrics

I though I was leaving on a jet plane

A winning lottery selection

And I sang your songs while Rocky Mountain High

Your voice could mesmerize the masses

Your love songs made a soul connection

You were the envy of every guitar picking guy

But it looks like fawning fame is not enough

The devotees who adored you somehow couldn't fill your cup

When you stood upon the mountaintop

You felt down instead of up

All the treasures of this world are not enough

Were the screaming crowds your Diamonds

Was every criticism stones

Were you flying ever closer to the sun

Did you need over stimulation

And put jet fuel in your Porsche

Did mundane need a boost to make life fun

But it looks like fawning fame is not enough

The devotees who adored you somehow couldn't fill your cup

When you stood upon the mountaintop

You felt down instead of up

All the treasures of this world are not enough

To us you seemed to have it all

Everything you touched was gold

But when you reach the top the only way is down

If you see life as just a contest

Then one day you're going to lose

And if no one sees you falling, do you make a sound

But it looks like fawning fame is not enough

The devotees who adored you somehow couldn't fill your cup

When you stood upon the mountaintop

You felt down instead of up

All the treasures of this world are not enough
