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
