Diamond in Your Mind
Tom Waits

I shook the hand of the president and the pope in Rome
I've been to parties where I've had to be flown
They told me everything was sacred, nothing is profane
And money is something that you throw off of the back of a train

Always keep a diamond in your mind
Always keep a diamond in your mind
Wherever you may wander, wherever you may roam
Always keep a diamond in your mind

Steamer of gravy with little fried pearls
Floating like a necklace on a beautiful girl
Joan said thanks for the food and land
And something about God that I just don't understand

Always keep a diamond in your mind
Always keep a diamond in your mind
Wherever you may wander, wherever you may roam
Always keep a diamond in your mind

She's got the milk of human kindness and the fat of the lamb
Scared like a baby, but she drives like a man
She lives outside of Natchez where she operates a crane
She's like a wrecking ball thats no longer connected to the chain

Zerelda Samuels said she aint never prayed
Since her right arm was blown off in a Pinkerton raid
Then they lashed her to a windmill with old '3-fingered Dave'
Now she's 102, drinking juleps in the shade

Always keep a diamond in your mind
Always keep a diamond in your mind
Wherever you may wander, wherever you may roam
Always keep a diamond in your mind

Always keep a diamond in your mind
Always keep a diamond in your mind
Wherever you may wander, wherever you may roam
Always keep a diamond in your mind

Always keep a diamond in your mind
Always keep a diamond in your mind
Wherever you may wander, wherever you may roam
Always keep a diamond in your mind

Always keep a diamond in your mind
Always keep a diamond in your mind
