Diamond In The Sleaze lyrics

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
