Lyrics: Bill Callahan. Diamond Dancer.

She was dancing so hard

She danced herself into a diamond

Dancing all by herself

Dancing all by herself

And not minding



Doing the the thing as she dreamed it

Doing the the thing as she dreamed it



Her skin was sky blue

Her skin was sky blue

Under the lights

Diamond dancer, diamond dancer



She was dancing so hard

She danced herself into a diamond

Dancing all by herself

Dancing all by herself

And not minding



And the one thing on her mind was

The one thing on her mind was:

It's time I gave the world my light

It's time I gave the world my light

Starting tonight



Diamond dancer, diamond dancer
