True to Life

So it gets to seven And I think of nothing But living in darkness And the diamond lady Well she's not telling I don't even know her name It's amazing Times have changed In days of old Imagination'd leave you standing Out in the cold Dancing city Now you're talking But where's your soul You've a thousand faces I'll never know True to life True to life There are complications And compensations If you know the game Agitated in Xenon nightly I'll take you home again Travel way downtown In search of nothing But the sky at night And the diamond lady Well she's not talking Yeah, that's alright True to life True to life True to life So I turn the pages And tell the story From town to town People tell me Be determined Poor country boy Too much luck Means too much trouble Much time alone But arm in arm With my seaside diamond I'll soon be home
