lyrics

Across the universe he flies
Master of his own disguise
Looking for that one true love

Hanging at the shopping mall's
Like swallowing a cannonball
Of popcorn and angel dust

Diamonds, you're mining for
Bring dynamite and trucks of gold

Of all the stupid acts to pose
Everyone there got a bloody nose
I wish I had hit you first

Across the stars and meteor dust
Your Hercules there, he's turned to rust
All your great heralds fall

Diamonds, you're mining for
Bring dynamite and trucks of gold

Through the ancient mariner times
You were my best friend
Now there's a sea of monsters between us
Shaking their ugly, deceitful, jealous head

Because diamonds they do sparkle
And glitter bright with age and wonder
But you and I, lost that luster
You and I, we've lost that wonder
