Medicine Boy - Diamonds Lyrics

The world now she’s spinning just a little more out of time
Lay my body in a bathtub
Distill me in brine

Tell me that I’m older and too cultured for this time
Tell me that I’m younger
And that I look divine

Everything is fucked
You know, people, that’s a fact
You don’t need me
To tell you that

Unimpressive
Upset
Uninspired
Undevout
But I’m gonna love you, baby
Till the world spits us out

Under the pressure and under the skin
Under your nails, that’s how the dirt gets in
Deeper and deeper, dripping down the well
You keep digging and digging for diamonds in Hell

I am hiding in the earth
Hiding in the air
I am hiding deep inside the nest of your chimney-smoke hair
A Siamese cat in a yellow field
A silver woman with a silver shield
I am waiting there for you

I have killed their sons and daughters
I have choked all their martyrs
I have cut the tongue from the ocean blue
All because you asked me to
I am waiting here for you
I am calling out to you
I am falling down for you

Under the pressure
Under the skin
Under your nails, that’s how the dirt gets in
Deeper and deeper, dripping down the well
You keep digging and digging for diamonds in Hell

I said under the pressure
Under the skin
Under your nails, that’s how the dirt gets in
Deeper and deeper, dripping down the well
You keep digging and digging for diamonds in Hell

Unimpressive
Upset
Uninspired
Undevout
I’m gonna love you, baby
Till the world spits us out
