Diamonds from 53rd State by Hugo Race & The True Spirit

Diamonds

Some pieces I remember
The day you gave me shelter
It all comes back so slowly
First the deal second the code
Three the favours that you owe
Innocence a distant memory
Instant lobotomy the blow and ice and ecstasy
I know there’s angels watching over me
High up beyond the sky
Where our broken voices ride
Saying what we really mean
Your lies disguise
A deep dark hole where diamonds shine
You hijack my dreams night after
Night until a cold sweat opens my eyes

Wheels are turning both ends burning
What goes down justifies the means
So far so good you’re alright
But you’ve been betrayed and compromised
Lost that easy ticket to serenity
Big hit the spell is over
Draw a bead on all that’s holy
Stolen papers new identities
Exposed again keep running til the end
When you get there tell me how it feels
Your vision vaporised
In a deep dark hole where diamonds shine
You hijack my dreams night after night
Until a cold sweat opens my eyes

Cut diamonds in your mine
Cut diamonds burn and shine burn and shine

Some pieces I remember
The day you gave me shelter
It all comes back so real
Way high in the sky
Where our broken promises fly
You hijack my dreams night after night
Until a cold sweat opens my eyes
