Crack in the Pearl, Pt. II

[Jeff Bhasker]

Cause there's always a flaw in the diamond

A lightning-fork crack in the pearl

A fault in the rock of the island

And it's usually shaped like a girl, girl

Leave us lost in the rust and the rubble

Nine exits north of Las Vegas, Vegas

Nine exits north of Las Vegas

I was the first one to see her

And you were the first one to fall

Like a half-drunken downhill skier

And she was the oncoming wall

Now I get that it's all gone awry

A joke I might like to take back

Wipe a bright star from the night sky

Nothing can fill in the black
