Diamonds And Babies And Cars - Lyrics by Counting Crows


Lyrics
"
My turn this time," he says.
"
Never get better than this,
we never get better than bad."
"
My turn this time," he said.
"
Now I can do what I want,
now I can walk away mad."
"
Cause last time we tried," he said.
"
We never get anywhere

We never solve anything."
"
It's my turn this time," he said.

And sticks out his chin like a man

Sticks out his chin like a man
"
My turn this time," they cried.

And everyone walks in a line

Around in a circle until they die
"
My turn this time," they scream.

And diamonds and babies and cars...

Don't add up to anything
"
My turn this time," she says.
"I wish we could talk a bit more,
just give me a little more time."
"
My turn this time," she says.
"
My children are growing up mad,
they never get anywhere."

This time she starts to cry

And everyone stares at the ground

Nobody says a word
"
You get one chance each life," she sighs.
"
And mine is just passing me by."

He walks out the door and she stares up at the ceiling
"
My turn this time," they cry.

And everyone walks in a line

Around in a circle until they die
"
My turn this time," they scream.

And diamonds and babies and cars...

Don't add up to anything, at all
"
My turn this time," he says.

And he turns the radio on

And he turns the radio off
"
My turn this time," she says.

And she laughs at her self

And she laughs at her self

And the sun goes down

And the sun comes up
