Tom Waits & Kronos Quartet - Diamond In Your Mind

(written by Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan 2000)
(performed by Tom Waits & Kronos Quartet, for HEALING THE DIVIDE)

I shook hands with 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 was profane
Money's just something you throw off of the back of trains

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

Steam of the gravy with little fried pearls
Floating like a necklace on a beautiful girl
Johan says thanks to the food and land
And something about God 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
Skin 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 no longer connected to the chain

Zerelda Samuel said she ain't never prayed
Since her right arm was blown off in the Pinkerton raid
They lashed her to a windmill with 3-fingered Dave
Now she's 102 and 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
