Diamonds Don’t Burn Songtext
von Jake Shears

Left the body by the seaside
Took the 1 Express to the West Side
Strapped myself in the backseat death ride
Farm to table Nitrous Oxide

Giving all the head you want
Making all the bread to live, yeah
Making all the bread you want
Giving all the head you give, oh

Caught up with the jewel appraiser
Me shock collar, you be taser
Everybody loves my inflatable blazer
Shaved his legs with two lightsabers

Giving all the head you want
Making all the bread to live, yeah
Making all the bread you want
Giving all the head you give


Wading through flooded markets
I bathed in flowers and shame
Union men tore down the station
Holding their torches to flame

Diamonds don′t burn
The data don't line up
I told you to shine up
We both know the damage was earned
Diamonds don′t burn

We sent the patsy for the playback
You take the lead, I think I'll stay back
Find a couple conversations to hi-jack
How'd you like to trade your thumbs for thumb-tacks?

Giving all the head you want
Making all the bread to live
Making all the bread you want
Giving all the head you give

Swimming through submerged apartments
I breathed the pathos and lead
Walk-ons and principles blending
She looks so good infra-red


Diamonds don′t burn
The data don′t line up
I told you to shine up
We both know the damage was earned

I can hide the design
Before the day returns
Diamonds don't burn

And that music is so powerful
That it′s quite beyond my control
And when I'm in the grips of it
I don′t feel pleasure and I don't feel pain
Do you understand what I′m talking about?
Have you ever felt like that, when you just couldn't feel anything
And you didn't want to either
You know, like that

I can hide the design
Before the day returns
Diamonds don′t burn
