jeffrey lewis - till i get a diamond lyrics

Loading...

i know that everything will get better
and i know that everything will get worse
who took all the bills in my wallet?
or did i fill it up in reverse?

taking all the chips to the table
before they’re gonna turn out the light
seems like it’ll never be worth it
but you never know when it might

so i’m taking myself to the cleaners
walking on the only street that i trust
and i’ll dig my own grave a bit deeper
till i get a diamond outta the dust

once i didn’t have any money
then i had a little success
once i had a life in the future
now i got a little bit less

play a slot machine for a living
never have a day to relax
everything is constantly spinning
clinging to the edge of the tracks

try to keep a grip on the handle
hoping that it doesn’t go bust
i guess i gotta get a little more dirty
till i get a diamond outta the dust
welcome to the palace of paintings
it’s incredible to see what it costs
welcome to the giant casino
built by all the people who lost

i know i’m just a drop in the bucket
but i wanna still make a splash
if i had another leg i’d be happy
that’s one more pocket where there might be some cash

book myself a room at the dungeon
take the punishment that i must
working on the loneliest chain gang
till i get a diamond outta the dust

driving off the side of a mountain
while you’re still in the air it’s not wrecked
take a little look out the window
nothing that i didn’t expect

once i didn’t have any chances
then i caught the tropical bug
once there was a pile of options
then i swept it under the rug

always had a gambling fever
got squeezed but i never got crushed
begging for a dime in the darkness
till i get a diamond outta the dust
