Diamonds and Rust
I'll be damned Here comes your ghost again But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you decided to call And here I sit Hand on the telephone Hearing the voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall But we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Yes, we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around And snow in your hair Now we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel Over Washington Square Our breath comes on white clouds Mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me, we both could've died Then and there Now you're telling me You're not nostalgic Then give me another word for it You were so good with words And at keeping things vague Cause I need some of that vagueness now It's all come back too clearly Yes, I love you dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've already paid But we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Yes, we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Diamonds, diamonds and rust Diamonds, diamonds and rust Diamonds, diamonds and rust, don't want no more Diamonds, diamonds and rust!

Ah! Grand canyons of space and time universal My mind is subjected, subjected to all Stab! Bawl! Punch! Crawl! Hooks to my brain are well in Stab! Bawl! Punch! Crawl! I know what I am, I'm Berlin Through cracked, blackened memories of unit dispersal I face the impregnable wall Stab! Bawl! Punch! Crawl! Hooks to my brain are well in Stab! Bawl! Punch! Crawl! I know what I am, I'm Berlin (Berlin, Berlin!) Exploding, reloading, this quest never-ending Until I give out my last breath I'm stabbing and bawling, I'm punching and crawling Hooks to my brain are well in I'm stabbing and bawling, I'm punching and crawling I know what I am, I'm Berlin (Berlin, Berlin, Berlin, Berlin!)
