Do What Diamonds Do

O how you sparkle and o how you shine Like pearls beaming so bright on a deep and dark night Supernatural is your spotlight I can see through a static sea of black and blues Drowning in the darkness What can I do? Hooked through the heart Falling too fast for you honey You do what diamonds do You take me through terror You take me through time You take me through sewers...past the slugs and the swine I'd turn water into wine if you'd give me a glance As you glimmer and glow you take me to a trance With the devil and death now I do a slow dance Like a million angry ants you ravage what's real Gravity it grips me like a beast says boo You do what diamonds do I can see you in a maze...a mirage...a minefield In a desert of dreams screams like sirens call me to come I risk life,limb, and love I fly fast like a dove then I fall like a fool Blown apart by your beauty That shine of seduction some way left me screwed See you some sunny day You do what diamonds do
