Diamond Dust Devil Unplugged
She blows in like a whirlwind
And glimmers like the sea
Her eyes shine like midnight stars
And cold as winter's breeze
She'll promise you the pleasures
That you have never known
You will shower her with gold and jewels
And she'll tease you till you groan
She will take from your friends
Convince you, they're not friends at all
Steal you from your wife and kids
Then stand and make you crawl
Now when she's had her way with you
And your heart's consumed with strife
She'll take from you the one thing left
The precious breathe of life
She's a diamond dust devil
And she whirls in with the wind
If you give her time
Your head will start to spin
So son don't spend your time
And through your life away
Get up off that chair
You must learn to walk away
