Artist: Lisa Loeb Album: The Way It Really Is (2004) Title: Diamonds
Lyrics DiamondsDiamonds are a ritual
A prize in the cracker jack
A name that you won’t get back
Diamonds are a runaround
A game you can’t win
While you wait for your life to begin
Missed the party
Drank the punch
The drunk ones are a lucky bunch.
Diamonds play singles
So sharp and abrasive
Just look at their poor faces
It’s sad
It’s not in the cards for them
Look down at their hands
You’ll see nothing
Just emptiness and misery
Missed the party
Drank the punch
The drunk ones are a lucky bunch
Drink til they can’t tell what’s wrong
Drink til they can’t tell what’s wrong
Diamonds are a piece of twine
the seal on the envelope
some guarantee of hope
Diamonds are just rocks that shine
so I’m not the diamond kind
I’ll never see a diamond mine
Missed the party
drank the punch
the drunk ones are a lucky bunch
Cause they can’t remember when they’ve had such a bad time
Cause they can’t remember when they’ve had such a bad time
No, they can’t remember when they’ve had such a bad time
Set, they make diamond rings
Diamonds are the hardest things |
