The Very Best of Neil Diamond

Just the very thought, trust but verify

The very best of Neil Diamond
Sings as the bombs rain down from the crystal sky
The very best of Neil Diamond
Radio cassette plays on as the kitchen crushed

Just the very thought, trust but verify

The very best of Neil Diamond
Hear its cry come through concrete rubble mound
But even craters should honour life(???)
Still the cassette plays on, oh sweet Caroline

Comedy killer, follow the leader
Tragedy bringer, violent thriller

Just the very thought, trust but verify, just to terrify
What's an empty thought but a lullaby?
