Diamond As Big As The Ritz

歌詞

Hidden in the mountains under the earth and stone A cubic mile of perfection treasure no one has known One man came upon this mother lode Built himself a thousand room chateau He's the emperor of diamonds master of the prize He's got the hold on happiness and all that money can buy Everyday he lives in fascination This is not an everyday temptation, no It's the diamond as big as the ritz What you gonna do with this? Tell me who's goin' to save you When you're a slave to the Diamond as big as the ritz A blessing can become a curse if you keep it to yourself Our own exaggeration is not so good for your health It's the prophecy of the unattainable dream If you take one look behind the shine It doesn't always gleam Everyday he lives in fascination This is not an everyday temptation, no It's the diamond as big as the ritz What you gonna do with this? Tell me, who's goin' to save you When you're a slave to a Diamond as big as the ritz (Diamond, diamond, diamond, diamond, diamond) Coal under pressure (Diamond) Sparkle of treasure (Diamond) Crystalline measure (Diamond) On a mental pleasure (Diamond) In the corner of your eye (Diamond) Make a grown man cry (Diamond) All the seeds you've sown (Diamond) Greed can crumble your castle walls greed can purchase you thrills Power is a dangerous drug it can maim, it can kill It's the prophecy of the unattainable dream If you take one look behind the shine it doesn't always gleam It was a diamond as big as the ritz What you gonna do with this? Tell me, who's goin' to save you When you're a slave to a Diamond as big as the ritz It was a diamond as big as the ritz What you gonna do with this? Tell me, who's goin' to save you When you're a slave to a Diamond as big as the ritz
