Oh the writing on the wall   It reminds him of the things that once were   The diamonds, oh the diamonds on her hands   Just one could change his life   And make him a brand new man      Can't you be blind for a minute   So he can take the money that you hand him   Inside, oh he needs it   But his heart's so full of pride   But his heart's so full of pride   And won't allow it   Can't you be blind   Can't you be blind      Even his demons have run away   They're deformed by the pain of that evening rain   His riches that he holds   Mean more and more to him   As his life unfolds      Can't you be blind      Tonight he will fight with his pride   Stony ground catch the diamonds that fall from his eyes   It's just a darker side of truth   A translucent work of art   Are you going to shoot the arrow straight through his heart?    To acknowledge makes him bleed   Cut by his own pride   As he stands alone   Can't you be blind, etc.
