A diamond in the sleaze
down on bended knees
a thousand bits of nerves
hanging loose at the ends
it's later than you think
it's gone before you blink
out of the crosshairs
and into the crowd
do you wanna see me suffering?
do you wanna see me suffering?
how could you let a good thing go?
how could you let a good thing go?
a lion in a cage
shakes his golden mane
he doesn't care who notices
where he's gonna lie
he came to bag a meal
you're older than you feel
the keyboard of your memory
is coming apart
it's a weight up on my shoulder
it's a weight up on my shoulder...
how could you let a good thing go?
how could you let a good thing go?
I won't ever let you go
I won't ever let you go
the doctor takes a rest
inside a hornet's nest
the Polaroids of patients
who refuse to be cured
a life lived under glass
and stolen Cadillacs
can you hear the saxophones
peeling the paint?
do you wanna see me suffering?
do you wanna see me suffering?
how could you let a good thing go?
how could you let a good thing go?
I won't ever let you go
I won't ever let you go
I won't ever let you go
I won't ever let you go
