Venusian Diamond
On the thirty-first day of the summer moon
In the marketplace
Somebody touched my hand
And said I was a woman of taste
Then with a flutter of wings
Amid the clutter of things
I saw the Venusian Diamond through a sea of grace
It said, "Lay all of your money down
And I will be your own
Do it if you can
If you don't, you better leave it alone"
Then there appeared a serpent hanging
Like a thunder rope
He said, "Pull me," I did
And fell into the wrong end of a telescope
So I began to run
I knew not to where I'd come
I could hear the Venusian Diamond
And it gave me hope
It said, "Shatter all your images
And I will bring you home
Do it if you can
If you don't, you better leave it alone"
Selves, selfish, selfless, self
Selves, selfish, selfless, self
Selves, selfish, selfless, self
Yeah
In the marketplace
Somebody touched my hand
And said I was a woman of taste
Then with a flutter of wings
Amid the clutter of things
I saw the Venusian Diamond through a sea of grace
It said, "Lay all of your money down
And I will be your own
Do it if you can
If you don't, you better leave it alone"
Then there appeared a serpent hanging
Like a thunder rope
He said, "Pull me," I did
And fell into the wrong end of a telescope
So I began to run
I knew not to where I'd come
I could hear the Venusian Diamond
And it gave me hope
It said, "Shatter all your images
And I will bring you home
Do it if you can
If you don't, you better leave it alone"
Selves, selfish, selfless, self
Selves, selfish, selfless, self
Selves, selfish, selfless, self
Yeah
