Swallowing diamonds A cutting throat Your teeth when you grin Reflecting beams on tombstones A jamboree of surprises Playing russian roulette Or the lucky clip A clenched fist to your heart Coal dust on your lungs A silver tongue for the chosen one Heavy magnum in your side or a bloody thorn Skating bullets on angel dust In a dead sea of fluid mercury Baby piano cries Under your heavy index & thumb Pull some strings -- let them sing The stars that shine & the stars that shrink In the face of stagnation the water runs Before your eyes dazzle It's a glittering prize
