Lyrics
Can't tell me that he didn't know/ kid's'll tell you straight up about/ everything we've grown too much/tact to admit/my DIAMOND/ my diamond in the rough/ my diamond my twisted sex kitten/ she may know blue beard's brand of shame/ yet her shine it cuts both ways// some deep dark secret like the black thorn/ poking out the back of her pants/ these stains are tattooed on chin and knee/ worn out like dirty laundry/ my diamond/ my diamond in the rough/ my diamond my twisted sex kitten/ she may know blue beard's brand of shame/ yet her shine it cuts both ways// oh the best gems/ yes hes said the best gems/ are riddled with/ all these tiny fractures/ unseen by the eye/ they capture the light/ and draw you into them/ oh/ and that's why I love you/ and that's why I love you/ and yes that's why I you she said/ so but don't let your right hand know what your left hands been hiding/ my diamond/ my diamond in the rough/ my diamond/ my twisted sex kitten/ yes she wears the crown/ and yes she wears it well/ and her shine it cuts Words and Music by Tamara Becker Cimmerian © 2010 Twin Flame Laments, BMI, All Rights Reserved
