Diamonds - Medicine Boy

The world now she’s spinning

Just a little more out of time

Lay my body in a bathtub

Distill me in brine

Tell me that I’m older

And too cultured for this time

Tell me that I’m younger

And that I look divine

Everything is fucked

You know people that’s a fact

But you don’t need me to tell you that

Unimpressive

Upset

Uninspired

Undevout

But I’m gonna love you baby

Till the world spits us out

Under the pressure

Under the skin

Under your nails

That’s how the dirt gets in

Deeper and deeper

Dripping down the well

You keep digging and digging

For diamonds in hell

I am hiding in the earth

Hiding in the air

I am hiding deep inside the nest

Of your chimney-smoke hair

A Siamese cat in a yellow field

A silver woman with a silver shield

I am waiting there for you

I have killed their sons and daughters

I have choked all their martyrs

I have cut the tongue from the ocean blue

All because you asked me to

I am waiting here for you

I am calling out to you

I am falling down for you

Under the pressure

Under the skin

Under your nails

That’s how the dirt gets in

Deeper and deeper

Dripping down the well

You keep digging and digging

For diamonds in hell

Unimpressive

Upset

Uninspired

Undevout

But I’m gonna love you baby

Till the world spits us out
