Diamonds Lyrics - Lisa Loeb

Diamonds are a ritual 

A prize in a Cracker Jack 

A name that you won't get back 

Diamonds are a runaround 

A game you can't win 

While you wait for your life to begin 

Miss the party, drink the punch 

The drunk ones are the lucky bunch 

Diamonds play single 

So sharp and abrasive 

Just look at their poor faces, it's sad 

It's not in the cards for them 

Look down at their hands 

You'll see nothing, just emptiness and misery

Miss the party, drink the punch 

The drunk ones are the lucky bunch 

Drink till they can't tell what's wrong 

Drink till they can't tell what's wrong 

Diamonds are a piece of twine 

A seal on the envelope 

Some guarantee of hope 

Diamonds are just rocks that shine 

So I'm not the diamond kind 

I'll never see a diamond mine

Miss the party, drink the punch 

The drunk ones are the lucky bunch 

'Cause they can't remember when they've had such a bad time 

No, they can't remember when they've had such a bad time 

No, they can't remember when they've had such a bad time 

Except they make diamond rings 

And diamonds are the hardest things
