hey diamond

one man's sick and one man's sin

one man's wine is one man's gin

he-hey

one man's heart is another's star

one man's rich and another's poor

he-ey

ride along

and it's called paradise

and i think i've seen it once or twice

what will we do when the mercy's gone

gold light streaming through the break of dawn

hey-ey

i've got a friend

she's like a saint

she's got a good light around her head

hey-ey

ride along

and it's called paradise

and i think i've seen it once or twice

where there's fear there's hope

where there's here there's gone

where there's fire there's smoke

waiting to get born

and some have hearts of gold

and others have hearts of bronze

waiting for the final stroke

waiting to get born

now we've been here for quite a while

she took me down on the miracle mile

hey-hey

c'mon

darkness

leave me alone

i'm doing life

i got a lot to go

hey-ey

ride along

and it's called paradise

and i think i've seen it once twice

where there's fear there's hope

where there's here there's gone

where there's fire there's smoke

waiting to get born

and some have hearts of gold

but most have hearts of bronze

waiting for the final stroke

waiting to get born
