DIAMONDS
DIAMONDS
DI-A-MONDS
I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you decided to call
And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Now I see you standing
with brown leaves falling around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the
window of that crummy hotel
Over a Memphis Tennessee square
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and there
Now you're telling me
you're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
'Cause I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes, I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Diamonds Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds Diamonds and Rust
I don't want no more diamonds and rust
Alright
Thank you very much indeed
perhaps a point worth mentioning
you might see these extra bodies
on stage tonight
Judas Priest movie
And occasionally
the camera turns to you
which makes us
all a bunch of film stars
Isn't that wonderful
We're also recording
tonight's show for
a possible live album, Memphis
the last four seasons
becomes our pre-history
and the rag tag fleet's
legacy to us
is a fresh start
in our lives today
We watch
unable to stop
the broken Galactica
from flying into the light.
We turn away from the tv screen
turn to face our own aching world
readying ourselves
to do the work
to make this whole.
This has all happened before
Now that we know this,
let's make something new
So say we all.
But I'm noted most for my unspoiled gender
And the closest I've been to a bar, is at ballet class.
I wanna go to the devil.
I wanna be mean, and throw mud pies
But more that that I wanna be bad
I wanna be daring, I wanna shoot pool
Everybody's feet
And whatever I've got I'm eager to lose
Just as mean and evil as I can be
was moved
but we did
accomplish our goal.
Yesterday,
the fifth day of Christmas,
our last Christmas card
Our goal for next year:
all the cards
sent out
before the
first day of Christmas.
Also
next year,
expect Christmas lights.
