So it gets to seven

And I think of nothing

But living in darkness

And the diamond lady

Well, she's not telling

I don't even know here name



It's amazing

Times have changed

In days of old

Imagination'd leave you standing

Out in the cold



Dancing city

Now you're talking

But where's your soul-you've a thousand faces

I'll never know



There are complications

And compensations

If you know the game

Agitated in Xenon nightly

I'll take you home again



Travel way downtown

In search of nothing

But the sky at night

And the diamond lady

Well, she's not talking

But that's all right



So I turn the pages

And tell the story

>From town to town

People tell me

Be determined

Poor country boy



Too much luck

Means too much trouble

Much time alone

But arm in arm

With my seaside diamond

I'll soon be home
