The Glasshouse and the Gift-Horse Lyrics by Autistic Daughters

Jealousy and Diamond

2004

Let it ring who said
All hell burns down
Let me say it's gonna be
I really can't laugh at anything
I really can't hold you faithful
Progress has no sympathy
Hysterical kings
Standing by an open door
Baby you're winning the war
Baby don't make a sound
Cause you live in a glass house
It's 3 A.M. and I'm wide awake
And I'm not even trying
And I'm not even trying
All the queen's beliefs stay stuck behind her teeth
Said, "I'll put you back to sleep again"
Everything I had, had gone to hell
The sky is white and I missed the bell
The parking spaces were all taken
I tried to call you
From the phonе on the street
On the corner if you'd pick up
Thе sky is white and I can't stop
Thinking you should cheer up
(You and I were standing under perfect sky
Throwing diamonds in the street below)
You and I were standing under perfect stars
Throwing diamonds in the street below
Setting cars alight along the road
I remember we were standing under perfect stars
Glowing down into the street below
Setting cars alight along the road
It's a violent side of life
Under perfect skies
If you say that we're exactly the same
Then what the hell am I?
I really can't love it anymore
I really can't love it anymore
I really can't love it anymore
I really can't love it anymore
I really can't love it anymore
I really can't love it anymore
