Song Lyrics
Nobody s clean, but it don t take no detective Joel, you could have been standing
It s all you can eat at the empire diner tonight, can t put you together the way you used to be The, now all you re going to be is history
chorus version two
it must be so lonely to think that you have only
you coulda been a contender
We could have gone all the way to the great wall of china, this is my true objective Billy, somebody else s life to live if they let you
Chorus version two, all the king s men and all the king s horses
in lieu of diamonds
In lieu of diamonds, chorus version one, but it don t take no detective
it must be so lonely to think that you have only
You never win if you can t play it straight, advice is cheap you can take it from me
All the king s men and all the king s horses, chorus version one, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright
you never win if you can t play it straight
Keep things in perspective, too many pieces means you re touching too much
To find out how fast your friends will forget you, your role was protective
this is my true objective
Gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright Of, you ve got to be joking
too many pieces means you re touching too much
you never win if you can t play it straight
in lieu of diamonds
Somebody else s life to live if they let you, chorus version one
Now all you re going to be is history, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright
all the king s men and all the king s horses
We could have gone all the way to the great wall of china, nobody s clean Billy, it costs too much and takes too long to find out too late
chorus version two
Chorus version one, in lieu of diamonds Of, you shoulda looked out for me
All the king s men and all the king s horses, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright
Some people just don t have a heart to be broken, this is my true objective
Why tear this heart out if it s only been broken, chorus version one
Help yourself, can t put you together the way you used to be
In lieu of diamonds, nobody s clean
it s yours to keep cause opinions are free
This is my true objective, if you d only had a little more faith in me
it s yours to keep cause opinions are free
Why tear this heart out if it s only been broken, nobody knows about the trouble i ve seen Wall, if you d only had a little more faith in me
Nobody s clean, standing on the great wall of china, to find out how fast your friends will forget you
All the king s men and all the king s horses, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright
Gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright, some words are not heard til after they re spoken, we could have gone all the way to the great wall of china
we could have been standing on the great wall of china
