Diamond In The Sleaze

A diamond in the sleaze

Down on bended knees

A thousand grizzled nerves hangin' loose at the end



It's later than you think

It's gone before you blink

Out of the crosshairs and into the crowd



Do you want to see me suffering?

Do you want to see me suffering?



How could you let a good thing go?

How could you let a good thing go?



A lion in the cage

Shakes his golden mane

He doesn't care who notices where he's gonna lie



You came to beg a meal

You're older than you feel

Keyboard of your memory is coming apart



It's a weight upon my shoulder

It's a weight upon my shoulder



How could you let a good thing go?

How could you let a good thing go?



I won't ever let you go

I won't ever let you go



The doctor takes a rest

Inside a hornets nest

Polaroids of patients who refuse to be cured



A life lived under glass

Stolen Cadillacs

Can you hear the saxophones peelin' the paint?



Do you want to see me suffering?

Do you want to see me suffering?



How could you let a good thing go?

How could you let a good thing go?



I won't ever let you go

I won't ever let you go

I won't ever let you go

I won't ever let you go
