Lyric Diamond as Big as the Ritz

Hidden in the mountains
Under the earth and stone
A cubic mile of perfection
Treasure no one has known
One man came upon this motherlode
Built himself a thousand room chateau

He s the emperor of diamonds
Master of the prize
He s got the hold on happiness
And all that money can buy
Everyday he lives in fascination
This is not an everyday temptation, no

It s the diamond as big as the Ritz
What you gonna do with this
Tell me who s goin to save you
When you re a slave to the
Diamond as big as the Ritz

A blessing can become a curse
If you keep it to yourself
our own exaggeration
Is not so good for your health
It s the prophecy of the unattainable dream
If you take one look behind the shine
It doesn t always gleam

Everyday he lives in fascination
This is not an everyday temptation, no

It s the diamond as big as the Ritz
What you gonna do with this
Tell me, who s goin to save you
When you re a slave to a
Diamond as big as the Ritz

(Diamond. Diamond. Diamond. Diamond. Diamond)
Coal under pressure (Diamond)
Sparkle of treasure (Diamond)
Crystaline measure (Diamond)
On a mental pleasure (Diamond)
In the corner of your eye (Diamond)
Make a grown man cry (Diamond)
All the seeds you ve sown (Diamond)

Greed can crumble your castle walls
Greed can purchase you thrills
Power is a dangerous drug
It can maim, it can kill
It s the prophecy of the unattainable dream
If you take one look behind the shine
It doesn t always gleam

It was a diamond as big as the Ritz
What you gonna do with this
Tell me, who s goin to save you
When you re a slave to a
Diamond as big as the Ritz

It was a diamond as big as the Ritz
What you gonna do with this
Tell me, who s goin to save you
When you re a slave to a
Diamond as big as the Ritz
