Stolen Diamonds Songtext
von The Cat Empire

Now that the sky is broken
I can see the light come shining in
Won′t you stay til this shadow
Passes over my pyramid
Nothing can be untrue
If you tell people it isn't

I′ve been smiling someone else's smile
I've been clenching someone else′s fist
I′ve been singing someone else's song
Threw my spear in someone else′s mist

One day you wake up, wake up, wake up
And you find you're not invincible at all
But you still walk out into bright lights
Every heart is cheering for you now
That it′s your birthday
You're the king of stolen diamonds
That′s what you are
That's what you are


I'm going to keep on telling myself
That until the earth goes flat

Inside each mirror
You will find a thousand silver daggers sheathed
Inside this lighted window
You will burn a thousands songs
Behind this TV-screen you′ve got to hold a minute furtherly

I′ve been staring into strangers' windows
I′ve been throwing glass into the sea
I've been cutting someone else′s hair
I've been sweeping up the house of thieves

One day you′ll wake up, wake up, wake up
And you'll find you're not invincible at all
But you still walk out into bright lights
Every heart is beating for you now
That it′s your birthday
You′re the king of stolen diamonds
That's what you are
That′s what you are

I'm going to keep on telling myself that until the earth goes flat
Earth goes flat


I used to think that I was psychic
Now I don′t remember why
Now all the silver threads
From all the spiderwebs are flickering in the sky
Why did you smash your bourbon on the rocks
Across the rocks across the road outside?

I've been smiling someone else′s smile
I've been clenching someone else's fist
I′ve been singing someone else′s song
Threw my spear in someone else's mist

One day you′ll wake up, wake up, wake up
And you'll find you′re not invincible at all
But you still walk out into bright lights
Every heart is cheering for you now
Now that it's you′re birthday
You're the king of stolen diamonds

One day you'll wake up, wake up, wake up
And you′ll find you′re not invincible at all
But you still walk out into bright lights
Every heart is cheering for you now
Now that it's you′re birthday
You're the king of stolen diamonds
That′s what you are

That's what you are
