Dirty Diamond |
| Found these in a box at the bus stop |
| My name’s at the bottom |
| But I’m nowhere to be found |
| I really get around they say |
| So I take these sightless creatures home |
| Then I fear them so to tremble |
| For I’m no mother, I |
| Just some random defender |
| I remember running chest high |
| In the steppe grass |
| At the dawn of man |
| When we got along |
| I remember running chest high |
| In the steppe grass |
| At the dawn of man |
| When we got along |
| We raced along the ground |
| I chased it out of town |
| The sun’s the meanest easy target |
| That I know |
| We played a tender game |
| Of kissing cobra tag |
| We slipped astride our horses |
| Dry dust in their manes |
| My friend would touch my face |
| And leave a star or two |
| The years left constellations |
| Of our wild language |
| What drove the sun away |
| I’m far too small to know |
| A gaslight that’s free to march |
| Is only |
| What can I tell you now |
| It’s better way along the canal |
| Draw mosquito clouds |
| From the dens of hot tires for miles |
| Draw mosquito clouds |
| From the dens of hot tires for miles |
| I remember running chest high |
| In the steppe grass |
| At the dawn of man |
| I remember running chest high |
| In the steppe grass |
| At the dawn of man |
| When we got along |
| Oh, petroleum |
| You’re the top predator now |
| Starving, lover, lier |
| But you’re uninspired too |
| According to your anthem you |
| Oh, petroleum |
| You’re the top predator now |
| And I am just desire |
| One dirty diamond |
| Some random defender |
| I sold my flesh that I might die |
| So the world will spin |
| And my cubs won’t cry |
| I have to be the sun for them |
| Oh, petroleum |
| Ah, beautiful |
| But so am I |
| I’m the dirty diamond |
| Lying, looking at the sky |
| I’m the dirty diamond |
| Lying, looking at the sky |
