True To Life

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 her name

It's amazing

Times have changed

In days of old

Imagination'd leave you standing

Out in the could

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 alright

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
