True to Life

1982

So it gets to seven and I think of nothing
But living in darkness
And the diamond lady, well she’s not telling
I don’t even know her name

It’s amazing, times have changed
In days of old
Imagination’d leave you standing
Out in the cold

Dancing city, now you’re talking
But where’s your soul?
You’ve a thousand faces
I’ll never know

There are complications compensating
If you know the game
Agitated in Xenon nightly
I’ll take you home again

Travel way downtown in search of nothing
But the sky at night
And the diamond lady, well she’s not talking
Hey, that’s alright

So I turn the pages, tell the story
From town to town
People tell me be determined
Poor country boy

But too much luck and too much trouble
Much time alone
And arm in arm with my seaside diamond
I’ll soon be home
