Rough Gem |
| The world beat you for something nice |
| You worked hard, died poor |
| You mined what you died for |
| Diamonds |
| You can whistle my name |
| It’s the mines in Africa |
| That are to blame |
| You can scoop out my brain |
| Shape it into an ear and then tell me your pain |
| Held death at bay from the first day |
| Stayed awake, stayed awake |
| The rabbit was removed under the whole moon |
| Long bird, short road |
| Dig deep but don’t dig too deep |
| When it’s late you’ll see the hole is empty |
| And oh so deadly |
| They want me raw and smooth like glass |
| They want it fast but they don’t want flaws |
| I’m a girl’s best friend |
| Can you cut, I can cut, cause I’m a rough gem |
| Who lives in those lights in the distance? |
| Watered down, the rain will help you out |
| I had a dream, it was all a dream |
| But it was ruined by the sun shining through me |
