This wave it breaks forever
Then the wicked wind blows on
We went through fire together
But it didn't hurt too long
One way for love and beauty
Just not the way we're heading
One way for all our earthly delights
And one way for Armageddon
Diamonds and coal
Well it hasn't been the same for years
Since it all went kinda pear-shaped
Back when the limpid notes were so sublime
And the little lambs skipped through the landscape
Well the whole world can change right in the blink of an eye
And then it all looks kind of strange
While all the minor matters take their time
And all the large ones seldom change
Diamonds and coal
