In these days of manmade wonders we still bicker over flies
When [bad word] seeking for forgiveness, I'll be forced to choose my side
If I knew... I forgot the lyrics... but that's OK, just play it on
Until I get back on track, babe...
We can do it ever more

Out of my way, [bad word] with an excuse just underway;
Reality’s so daunting, and I’ve got no way to explain.

‘Cause when you’re sleeping right next to me,
I know you’re the one…
So when I hear you calling my name
Why do I turn away [bad word] 
I guess that’s why it’s raining diamonds,
Sweet happiness in tears.
Crying Heaven, shed your diamonds,
Diamonds for tears.

In the light of recent findings,
There’s no greater taint than grace,
But to relinquish all our bindings,
Always finds us out of place.
If I rested here a while more,
Would you hold me to your heart?
If I knew what it was meant for,
Would I know to play my part?

Out of my way, I’m leaving;
Another excuse before I’ll stay.
Reality’s applauding;
I know I don’t know the right way.

‘Cause when you’re sleeping right next to me,
I know you’re the one…
So when I hear you calling my name,
I know you’re the one.
I guess that’s why it’s raining diamonds,
Sweet happiness in tears.
Crying Heaven, shed your diamonds,
Diamonds for tears.

Is it a lost cause?
Can we overlook this taint?
Are these dead laws
Like a doubt eating the saint?

And though I fear these shackles
Like my darkness closing in,
I will hold out my hands, I will hold out my hands…

‘Cause when you’re sleeping right next to me,
I know you’re the one…
So when I hear you calling my name,
I know the good I’ve done.
I guess that’s why it’s raining diamonds,
Sweet happiness in tears.
Crying Heaven, shed your diamonds,
Diamonds for tears.
