Diamond As Big As The Ritz
Quelle: Spotify
Hidden in the mountains
Under the earth and stone
A cubic mile of perfection
A treasure no one has known
One man came upon this mother load
Built himself a thousand room chateau
He's the emperor of diamonds
Master of the prize
He's got a hold on happiness
And all that money can buy
Everyday he lives in fascination
This is not an everyday temptation
It was a diamond as big as the Ritz
What you gonna do with this, tell me
Who's gonna save you when your a slave to
The diamond as big as the Ritz
A blessing can become a curse
If you keep it to yourself
Your 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
It way a diamond as big as the Ritz
What you gonna do with this
Who's gonna save you when your a slave to
The diamond as big as the Ritz
Coal under pressure
Sparkle of treasure
Crystalline measure
Ornamental pleasure
In the corner of your eye
Make a grown man cry
All the seeds you've sown
Greed can crumble castle walls
Greed can purchase you thrills
Power is a dangerous thing
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
Who's gonna save you when your a slave to
The 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 gonna save you when you're a slave to
The diamond as big as the Ritz
