Carrot Diamond

My serotonin's rationed, I'm coughing



I kind of caught the blues



But you won't catch me complaining



to the super or the news



Cause the carrot's gonna dangle



'Til the diamond is appraised



And all that talk made me feel rich baby,



but tell me, who is gonna pay



For braces to make straight,



All that Colgate keep my white tooth-innocence?



My smile's in sad shape,



All the dead weight I got tired of carrying



Yeah it's got me looking for a friend



or a crutch I can depend on



Well there's endless entertainment



In thinking the world is gonna end



And I live some nights convinced of it



but I keep waking up again



With my girl wrapped 'round my body



and a towel wrapped 'round my head



She says, you passed out in the bathtub,



Angel, I thought that you were dead



Don't die on me, don't tread on me



My love, my love is not the enemy



And you don't have to be no-one's biography



Yeah they try and write you down and hope you go crazy



So don't



So don't



Don't fall for that Christ-bait it's about as passé

as rock star arrogance



Tomorrow's a new day but it's that same face and you'll be wearing it



Now you don't have to be content! but you do have to get on with it
