Diamond As Big As The Ritz lyrics

Verse Hidden in the mountains Under the earth and stone A cubic mile of perfection A treasure no one has known One man came upon this motherlode Built himself a thousand room chateau Verse He's the emperor of diamonds Master of the prize He's got a hold on happiness And all that money can buy Everyday he lives in fascination This is not an everyday temptation Corus It's the diamond as big as the Ritz What you gonna do with this, tell me Who's gonn save you when you're a slave to The diamond as big as the Ritz Verse A blessing can become a curse If you keep it to yourself Your own exaggeration Is not so good for your health It's the prophecy of the unattainable dream If you take one look behind the shine It doesn't always gleam Everyday he lives in fascination This is not an everyday temptation Chorus It was a diamond as big as the Ritz What you gonna do with this Who's gonna save you when you're a slave to The diamond as big as the Ritz Cool under pressure Diamond Sparkle of treasure Diamond Crystalline measure Diamond Ornamental pleasure Diamond In the corner of your eye Diamond Make a grown man cry Diamond All the seeds you've sown Chorus Greed can crumble castle walls Greed can purchase you thrills Power is a dangerous thing It can maim it can kill It's the prophecy of the unattainable dream If you take one look behind the shine It doesn't always gleam Chorus It was a diamond as big as the Ritz What you gonna do with this, tell me Who's gonna save you when you're a slave to A diamond as big as the Ritz Chorus It was a diamond as big as the Ritz What you gonna do with this, tell me Who's gonna save you when you're a slave to A diamond as big as the Ritz
