Bleeding Diamonds

Drive-by Truckers

9

This breath is wasted forever

but I know I'm not the first

ive been putting on my best

to hear the worst

and listening to someone elses fables

from radios at someone elses tables

trying to find the words you want to hear

masses are gathering up outside

and it's so dark

wake up your brothers get in a line

to shoot the stars

and the sky looks like it is bleeding diamonds

smoke looks just like a thousand garlands

I'm trying to find the words you want to

hear me know cuz ive heard all that I can stand

this is not what I had planned

pretending my loves home

I bereave my brothers in a silent league

who wait while all the truth just leaves

to stake their claim alone

its just another lonely night

its just another lonely night
