Venusian Diamond Songtext
von Carole King

On the thirty-first day of the summer moon
In the marketplace
Somebody touched my hand
And said I was a woman of taste
Then with a flutter of wings
Amid the clutter of things
I saw the Venusian Diamond through a sea of grace

It said, "Lay all of your money down
And I will be your own
Do it if you can
If you don′t, you better leave it alone"


Then there appeared a serpent hanging
Like a thunder rope
He said, "Pull me," I did
And fell into the wrong end of a telescope

So I began to run
I knew not to where I'd come
I could hear the Venusian Diamond
And it gave me hope

It said, "Shatter all your images
And I will bring you home
Do it if you can
If you don′t, you better leave it alone"

Selves, selfish, selfless, self
Selves, selfish, selfless, self
Selves, selfish, selfless, self

Yeah
