i can't see the reason for ever sleeping at all
when i can go bouncing off the wall 'cause i know
you're gonna have to catch me when i fall
can't tell black from white it should be easier by now but
the suns behind a cloud oh what can i do
for all of these hours that you're not around
just like in the movies i'll meet you in the wrong place every time
till your smile points down
from digging up diamonds in tinsel town
i just can't work the machine all i get is daylight in my head
from all of this waking up the dead now every shadow has a name
all the faces look the same in the company now
you do the rhumba with the dumbwaiter and tell me how were we to know
that the sun had sunk so low as the light begins to fade
all the shadows that we made they go creeping away
just like in the movies i'll meet you in the wrong place every time
till your smile points down
from digging up diamonds in tinsel town
i can't wait to get rich i'll keep a sunbeam in my roof
i'll buy a wife who's bulletproof just a penny for a shine all the reisling in the rhine
why won't you give me just a little time
can't tell the snakes from the ladders i just go cleaning up the mess
when you wear that violent dress every time it's the same
all the sailors call your name in the boulevard
just like in the movies i'll meet you in the wrong place every time
till your smile points down
from digging up diamonds in tinsel town
