Somebody right above me gets up from her chair   The ceiling shakes when he makes his way down the stairs   The lights go out, put a finger to your mouth   There is nothing we can get away within this house      Would be so hard   Would break your heart   Would waste your time   I know it?s a diamond mine   All our friends are doing fine      And there is a dinner party right across the hall   And I hear neighbors laughing through the kitchen wall   And I hear the sound of a plate crash to the ground   When I turn the table on its side, it?ll shake the house      Would be so hard   Would break your heart   Would waste your time   I know it?s a diamond mine   All our friends are doing fine      So I won?t ask again      Somebody might bemoan me, screaming in these rooms   You keep your mouth shut if you know what is good for you   The lights go out, I can hear bad things around   There is nothing we can get away within this house      Would be so hard   Will break your heart   Will waste your time   I know it?s a diamond mine   All our friends are doing fine      So I won?t ask again
