So it gets to seven, and I think of nothing
but living in darkness
And the diamond lady, well she's not telling
I don't even know her name
It's amazing, times have changed
In days of old
the imagination will leave you standing
out in the cold
Dancing city, now you're talking
but where's your soul
You've a thousand face I'll never know
True to life
True to life
There are complications and compensations
if you know the game
Agitated in Xenon nightly
I'll take you home again
Travel way downtown in search of nothing
but the sky at night
And the diamond lady, well she's not talking
Yeah that's alright
True to life
True to life
True to life
So I turn the pages, tell the story
from town to town
Poor country boy
Too much luck means too much trouble
much time alone
But arm in arm, with my seaside diamond
I'll soon be home
