lyrics

What's the party going to confess
that the party hasn't told you by now
What’s the party got to keep you quiet
No highs or lows strictly middlebrow
‘Cause the party won’t say it’s over
before the cops take their final bow

You could step outside for air
into the diamond demi-monde
You could see it cut everyone
Sparkle and shine but you'll find
Inside the diamond demi-monde
there's not so much for you

But a place where you think you belong
Is not a place where you can be of use
And a place where you stay for too long
Is not a place you can find a good excuse
‘Cause a place won’t care about its name
After you leave your signature upon a truce

You could step outside for air
into the diamond demi-monde
You could see it cut everyone
Sparkle and shine but you'll find
Inside the diamond demi-monde
there's not that much for you

Nothing but love you make with lovers
Nothing but work left behind for others
Nothing but a diamond demimonde
Winking into existence then suddenly gone
