He wanted to sell me a diamond He said it was conflict free Was such a beautiful concept That such a thing could be See it shining on the velvet Faceted fire lying there While I listen to a couple arguing Three feet behind my chair Bitterness soaks their voices It's been riding them for years Anger they keep on carrying Old hurt words in their ears Sell me a diamond, I have to know If this transaction is the key to letting go Empty my pockets, you'll find a ring Is there a crime if no one loses anything Sell me a diamond, one fluid moment And seven crows above could be an omen Sell me a diamond I'll just stop watching news I guess You know that would be a gift Just listen to children laughing And give myself a lift And maybe I'll see somebody Kind to someone in the street And I will give this gift to The next diamond soul I meet Sell me a diamond, one fluid moment You know seven crows above could be an omen Empty my pockets, you'll find a ring Is there a crime if no one loses anything Sell me a diamond, I have to know If this transaction is the key to letting go Sell me a diamond Makes conflict free sound good to me Makes conflict free sound good to me Makes conflict free sound good to me Makes conflict free sound good to me
