Diamonds And Pearls Lyrics - Vinyl Confessions - Kansas

The stage is set, the race is on 

To drink the cup 'til every drop is gone 

And when you make it to the top 

The hunger doesn't stop 

You climb the ladder to success 

The way the world defines it more or less 

You find the grass is greener still 

On someone else's hill 

Diamonds and pearls 

Silver and gold 

Soon fade away 

Empty and cold 

Nothing remains of the things that we strive to attain 

Only the love that is lasting will not be in vain 

They say that pride's before the fall 

The stakes are high, you know who takes it all 

To make it through the needle's eye 

You just can't live a lie 

Diamonds and pearls 

Silver and gold 

Soon fade away 

Empty and cold 

Nothing remains of the things that we strive to attain 

Only the love that is lasting will not be in vain 

[Instrumental] 

Diamonds and pearls 

Silver and gold 

Soon fade away 

Empty and cold 

Nothing remains of the things that we strive to attain 

Only the love that is lasting will not be in vain
