Diamonds and Pearls

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:

Surprising the world with diamonds and pearls

But a song about a girl ain't really about a girl

Got a two-way vanity mirror, I'm an amity villain

With a peeping Tom complexYou're just a soul collector

You keep putting 'em in a trash bag

You push 'em in a shopping cart

Go and act sadWhen there's none left to collect

So you go on and you make more

But wait, what you lose them to the state for?The next time you see me

It'll be through plexiglass

There ain't no bail outs in this jail house

Ain't no more petty cash

Easy come, easy go

A penny saved, a penny earned

And I've learned life is clich

One of these days you get what you deserveSurprising the world with diamonds and pearls

But a song about a girl ain't really about a girl

Got a 2-way vanity mirror

Firing a blind eye I turn from an 800-pound gorillaIn the midst of misdirected anger

False blood can run thinner than icy water

Watch the fang-banger

Flirt with the Death-star

I cried by your bedside

Decided right then and there to pretend you were alive

Maybe, baby lie to me, invade my privacy

Have the decency to say bye, after taking the pride

Domestic piracy

You ran out of family plunder

And launch pads to crash,

So when you're done playing dumb, empty the trashWe're looking for our lives back, we wish we could have saved yours

There's nothing we can buy back, cause everything was paid off

I found you in a pawn shop, you were stuck behind a glass case

I watched as the cost dropped, puppy dog sad face

Put a down payment on my meal plan, just to see your shit eating grin

Save the frown for when you need to shed your skin,

Selling bullshit shells to yourself, the layers are coming off

Economic failed, professional victim of sale cutting costsCharity case, don't ask me to donate

You axe murdered your soul mate

My back's hurting from an tax burden

Pull your own weight

A punching bag for hire, every minute there's a sucker bet,

So what's the over and under you'll rise up from the debt.

With the complexion of a ghost

The resurrection was a hoax, but 2000 years later it's like nobody knows

If you think you're slick enough to turn a trick and spin the story

just cause Jesus is your fair-weather pimp

And you caught me praying with my fingers crossed

So I shuffled up the deck, is this the card that you picked?

Well if not, how about this?

Missionary aint a job, its a position, so assume it's

a victimless crime, watch dog has an owner thats abusiveNow isnt that ironic? With one hand in my pocket

And the other choking out the street corner prophet

Uncrossed my fingers and said "Look at me when Im talking, dear

I aint mad at you, and thats the only miracle here"I aint mad at youIm surprising the world with diamonds and pearls

But a song about a girl ain't really about a girl

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
