[Verse 1] Madness is my old friend We don't need fancy drinks and penthouse suites to run awry And you, you just were just a fling A beautiful addition to the valley of my vices
[Pre-Chorus] We're different people Adam and Eve, oh Dreaming alone You smiled at the sunrise Longed for a last night Baby you know
[Chorus] The diamond days are done The diamond days are gone And I would be a fool to carry on And know there's nothing wrong But I'm already gone Like headlights in the dawn, we've had our fun The diamond days are done
[Verse 2] Pearls hang around my neck You tie a noose on me with every gift a velvet coffin Done, mile high and dry I pray to hell's angels that we crash in the vanilla sky
[Pre-Chorus - Variation] We're different people Adam and Eve, oh Dreaming alone
[Chorus] The diamond days are done The diamond days are gone And I would be a fool to carry on And know there's nothing wrong But I'm already gone Like headlights in the dawn, we've had our fun The diamond days are done The diamond days are done
Madness is my old friend We don't need fancy drinks and penthouse suites to run awry
The diamond days are done The diamond days are gone And I would be a fool to carry on
The diamond days are done The diamond days are done The diamond days are done The diamond days are done The diamond days are done
