Slime Diamonds - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

You reached out through the crowd, and slyly grabbed my hand

We didn't use words, but you knew I’d understand

Two minute conversation leaves me weak in the knees

Do you wanna take me home, are you just a careless cruel tease?

You’re leaning back with that cigarette, my mind is doing nervous pirouettes

Is this just another wild goose chase?

I think you want me by the look on your face

All day I fantasize about your slime diamond eyes

And I’ll let you tell me lies, ‘cause when you look at me my heart flies

My friend said you’re no good, you’re snorting coke & popping pills

Out on tour with the boys, you’re banging dozens of girls

I’d risk devastation just to get you in my bed

Tattoo your name on my skin and play your records till I’m dead

Will I go against my own right mind, in search of love that I’m not likely to find?

Let’s go out looking cool, though we’re both secretly nerds

You be Brian Jones, I’ll be Anita Pallenberg

All day I fantasize about your slime diamond eyes

I know that you tell me lies, ‘cause you’re my sweet punk rock prize

Now that we’ve loved, my affection has soured

Each day I drink until the wee wee hours

Talking trash like you’re just fourteen

Your hands and your clothes reek of nicotine

But I still fantasize about your slime diamond eyes

I knew that you'd tell me lies, so infatuation dies

So infatuation dies

I know that you wanna die!

Ooh wah ooh

Ooh
