Liquid Diamond

Diamond studded jewelry.
Diamond studded chest plate.
"Diamonds are forever" says the salesman
"Death can never wait"
While he lights a cigarette and throws his youth away
I'll take a diamond studded bullet…
From your plight of disgrace.

They drink coffee in the evening.
While we sleep on subway tracks.
They breathe the fumes of each other.
And we walk…
with knives in our backs.

When will the hourglass empty it's last drop…
Of liquid diamond.
Dreaming babies up for auction.
Platinum chains are the offering.
When will you stand true…true to you.
When will the sky turn blue again, baby.
Who would've thought that selling mother earth…
For cheap wine…
For cheap wine would be our death.

Well…I can tell you…

They drink coffee in the evening.
While we sleep on subway tracks.
They breathe the flames of one another.
And we walk…
With knives in our backs.

Drink, drink, drink, drink…

Drink the water and never look back.
