there's diamonds in your eyes

that I can see

across the the room

we're as free 

as we are beautiful.

 

echoing the tension

all the way

from backstage.

you never stay,

or should I say...

 

you're made up of ash

from a cigarette,

and I of porcelain.

every word that I'll regret,

life is so plain.

 

take me in your arms,

help me to see stars

hallelujah!

how old are you again?

not that I could care,

take me to mars.
