Rough Gem Lyrics - Islands

The world beat you for the something nice 

You worked hard, died more 

You mined what you died for 

Diamonds di di di di di uh 

You can whistle my name 

It's the mines, in Africa 

That are to blame 

You can Scoop out my brain 

Shape it into an ear and then tell me your pain 

I've been awake from the first day 

Stayed awake, stayed awake 

The rabbit (?) the whole moon 

Longer, short road 

Dig deep but don't dig too deep 

When it's late you'll see the hole is empty and oh so deadly 

They want me raw and smooth like glass 

They want it fast but they don't want flaws 

I'm a girl's best friend 

Can you cut, I can cut, 'cause I'm a rough gem 

who lives in those lights in the distance? 

Watered down, the rain will help you out 

I had a dream, it was all a dream 

But it was ruined by the sun shining in through me
