True to Life

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

the imagination will leave you standing

out in the cold

Dancing city, now you're talking

but where's your soul

You've a thousand face I'll never know

True to life

True to life

There are complications and compensations

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

Yeah that's alright

True to life

True to life

True to life

So I turn the pages, tell the story

from town to town

People tell me, be determined

Poor country boy

Too much luck means too much trouble

much time alone

But arm in arm, with my seaside diamond

I'll soon be home
