Diamonds on The Inside — текст песни (Ben Harper)

I knew a girl

Her name was truth

She was a horrible liar

She couldnt spend one day alone

But she couldnt be satisfied

When you have everything

You have everything to lose

She made herself a bed of nails

And shes planning on putting it to use

But she had diamonds on the inside

She had diamonds on the inside

She had diamonds on the inside

Diamonds



A candle throws its light into the darkness

In a nasty world so shines a good deed

Make sure the fortune that you seek

Is the fortune that you need

Tell me why the first to ask

Is the last to give every time

What you say and do not mean

Follows you close behind



She had diamonds on the inside

She had diamonds on the inside

She wore diamonds on the inside

Diamonds

Diamonds



Like the soldier long standing under fire

Any change comes as a relief

Let the givers name remain unspoken

She is just a generous thief



She had diamonds on the inside

She had diamonds on the inside

She wore diamonds on the inside

She wore diamonds

Oh - diamonds

She had diamonds

She wore diamonds

Diamonds
