Letra de Dirty Diamond
Found these in a box at the bus stop My name's at the bottom But I'm nowhere to be found I really get around they say.So I take these sightless creatures home And I fear them so to tremble For I'm no mother, I Just some random defenderI remember runnin' chest-high In the steppe grass At the dawn of man When we got alongI remember runnin' chest-high In the steppe grass At the dawn of man When we got alongWe raced along the ground I chased it out of town The sun's the meanest easy target that i know.We played a tender game Of "kissing cobra tag" We slept astride our horses Tied fast in their manesMy friend would touch my face And leave a star or two The years left constellations Of our wild languageWhat drove the sun away? I'm far to small to know A gaslight's winter Marches on refinery legs.And what can i tell you now? It sped away along the canal And drummed mosquito clouds From their dens of hot tires For miles.I remember runnin' chest-high In the steppe grass At the dawn of manI remember runnin' chest-high In the steppe grass At the dawn of man When we got alongOh, petroleum You're the top predator now Soverign, lover, liar. But you're uninspired too According to your anthem, you.Oh, petroleum You're the top predator now And I am just desireYes, one dirty diamond Some random defender I sold my flesh that I might die So the world will spin And my cubs won't cry I have to be the sun for them Oh, petroleum. You are beautiful But so am II'm a dirty diamond lying looking at the sky I'm a dirty diamond lying looking at the sky
