Gold Snafu Lyrics

[Verse 1]
For some, this is all a game
Don't take me just a fool
Won't you just stay the fuck out of my way?
Faking smiles and acting all the cool

[Verse 2]
From the sidelines to the front wide
I still be saving up for them new shoes
All the while, I'll be wishing it's alright
'Cause my main man on the right plays it good

[Chorus]
I see the sunrise, getting high
I wish I was next to you
So coming down is alright
Stumble through your gold snafu

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, for the first time in my life
I seen them velvet skies
And all that hurt was froze in ecstasy
I'll teach you how to fly
Forever's overthrown
And everybody comes again alive
It's simple as a song
And sexy as a slippery waterslide
[Chorus]
I see the sunrise, getting high
I wish I was next to you
So coming down is alright
Stumble through your gold snafu
I see the sunrise, getting high
I wish I was next to you
So coming down is alright
Stumble through your gold snafu
So coming down is alright
Stumble through your gold snafu

[Outro]
Stumble through your gold snafu

Genius Annotation

Gold Snafu, the fifth track off the Land of Pleasure album. Through this track, STIFI tell a story about their sacrifice to achieve success and their high and lows while living on the road.

In a Track by Track interview by Tonedeaf, they describe the track:

“It was a bit over a year ago when we realized; if we wanted to actually get anywhere with this band we’d have to simply give up on everything else and truly go for it. ‘Gold Snafu’ is inspired by our story so far. All the highs and lows that come with living on the road. SNAFU is a morse code term that stands for Situation Normal All Fucked Up. Gold.”
