Verse
Hidden in the mountains
Under the earth and stone
A cubic mile of perfection
A treasure no one has known

One man came upon this motherlode
Built himself a thousand room chateau

Verse
He s the emperor of diamonds
Master of the prize
He s got a hold on happiness
And all that money can buy

Everyday he lives in fascination
This is not an everyday temptation

Corus
It s the diamond as big as the Ritz
What you gonna do with this, tell me
Who s gonn save you when you re a slave to
The diamond as big as the Ritz

Verse
A blessing can become a curse
If you keep it to yourself
Your 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

Chorus
It was a diamond as big as the Ritz
What you gonna do with this
Who s gonna save you when you re a slave to
The diamond as big as the Ritz

Cool under pressure
Diamond
Sparkle of treasure
Diamond
Crystalline measure
Diamond
Ornamental pleasure
Diamond
In the corner of your eye
Diamond
Make a grown man cry
Diamond
All the seeds you ve sown

Chorus
Greed can crumble castle walls
Greed can purchase you thrills
Power is a dangerous thing
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

Chorus
It was a diamond as big as the Ritz
What you gonna do with this, tell me
Who s gonna save you when you re a slave to
A diamond as big as the Ritz

Chorus
It was a diamond as big as the Ritz
What you gonna do with this, tell me
Who s gonna save you when you re a slave to
A diamond as big as the Ritz

Tekst :

When you feel like a written off actor on Deadwood
About to get fed to the pigs
When that preacher s bustin hell
Toutin just cowbells
Stop his trails in front of your digs

There s this place you can go called Tierra Del Feugo
Down in the Southern Hemisphere
It s kinda Troy without Helen
Past the Straits of Magellan
Things are always looking up down there

And there s a party at the end of the world (end of the world)
Where the locals do the tango twirl
Forget the temples and the golf pants
Over there in Montreal
There s a party at the end of the world

It seems like I ve run out of reasons to be here
So I m just going to steal from myself
If your attitude has fallen
There s a latitude that s calling
Take yourself past that continental shelf

Now the band that we hired
Is playing so inspired
Eskimos and eunuchs from Bangkok
Have this location so nice
We won t run out of ice
Cause Antarctica is just around the block

And there s a party at the end of the world (end of the world)
Where the locals do the tango twirl
So don t make that big mistaika
And wind up with Miss Jamaica
At the party at the end of world

Flying machines, yellow submarines
Fresh girls in cowboy decor
RSVP isn t needed you see
And the crowd they re just yelling for more
???

Now in case you hadn t heard
Things are getting quite absurd
No one really shocks us that s for sure
Roadside bombers and tsunamis
Oh god How I miss those Commies
No one really plays fair anymore

But I ve spoken to the yogis
Had a conversation with our roadies
Who assure me that our arrangements are complete
So the things and the stories down the road or Roaring 40 s
And you best reserve that cherished window seat

To the party at the end of the world (end of the world)
Where the locals do that tango twirl
???????????
When there s native girls to capture
There s a party at the end of the world

Who cares if there s no fire
We ll be rocking in Ushuaia
At the party at the end
We surely can attend
The party at the end of the world

Tekst :

Mother, mother ocean,
I have heard you call,
Wanted to sail upon your waters
since I was three feet tall. You ve seen it all,
You ve seen it all.

Watched the men who rode you,
Switch from sails to steam.
And in your belly you hold the treasure
That few have ever seen, Most of them dreams,
Most of them dreams.

Yes, I am a pirate
Two hundred years too late.
The cannons don t thunder there s nothin to plunder
I m an over forty victim of fate; arriving too late
Arriving too late.

I ve done a bit of smugglin
I ve run my share of grass.
I made enough money to buy Miami,
But I pissed it away so fast, Never meant to last,
Never meant to last.

I have been drunk now for over two weeks,
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks,
but I ve got to stop wishin , got to go fishin
I m down to rock bottom again. Just a few friends,
Just a few friends.

(Instrumental)

I go for younger women,
Lived with several awhile,
And though I ran away, They ll come back one day.
And still I can manage a smile
It just takes awhile, just takes awhile.

Mother mother ocean,
after all these years I ve found
My occupational hazard being
my occupation s just not around
I feel like I ve drowned, gonna head uptown.

There s so much on my mind
And there s so much more I gotta do
Well I m working through the night
But I just can t stop watching you

I gotta keep looking out through the window
Trying to read your mind
I m looking at you lying down on your pillow
Wishing I was...

When a woman cries, when a woman cries,
she can wash your world away.
When storms fill her eyes, when storms fill her eyes,
you never know just what to say.

Don t say a word, don t say anything.
She don t need...

[Chorus:]
Thts Why People Fall In Love, First Kiss, First Hug...
Can We Make It Like It Was,We Were, In Love

Can We Make It Like It Was,See The Love I Have, That The Love For You...

Because Ive Been Around The World And I Met Alot Of Other Girls. But...

A seagull cry a child laughs an old man orders a drink
It’s been ten years since he got here and it hurts to think
That years ago at this beachside bar a woman held his hand
And he lost his chance for true romance on South...

When you holler baby
When you holler at me
What you want me to be
When you holler baby
When you holler at me
What you want me to

I won’t be strong and I won’t brave
I never stay
Because you don’t treat me the...
