Stolen Diamonds - The Cat Empire

Now that the sky is broken I can feel the light come shining in

Won’t you stay til this shadow passes over my pyramid?

Nothing could be untrue if you tell people it isn’t

I’ve been smiling someone else’s smile

I’ve been clenching someone else’s fist

I’ve been singing someone else’s song

Threw my spear in someone else’s mist

One day you’ll wake up wake up wake up

And you’ll find you’re not invincible at all

But you still walk out into bright lights

Every heart is cheering for you

Now that it’s you’re birthday you’re the king of stolen diamonds

That’s what you are

That’s what you are

(I'm going to keep on telling myself that until the earth goes flat)

Inside each mirror you will find a thousand silver daggers sheathed

Inside each lighted window you will find a thousand swords

Behind each TV screen you’ve got a whole domain of fuckery

I’ve been staring into strangers' windows

I’ve been throwing glass into the sea

I’ve been cutting someone else’s hair

I’ve been sweeping up the house of thieves

One day you’ll wake up wake up wake up

And you’ll find you’re not invincible at all

But you still walk out into bright lights

Every heart is beating for you

Now that it’s you’re birthday you’re the king of stolen diamonds

That’s what you are

That’s what you are

I’m going to keep on telling myself that until the earth goes flat

Earth goes flat

(one day you’ll wake up)

I used to think that I was psychic now I don’t remember why

Now all the silver threads from all the spiderwebs are flickering in the sky

Why did you smash your bourbon on the rocks across the rocks across the road

outside?

I’ve been smiling someone else’s smile

I’ve been clenching someone else’s fist

I’ve been singing someone else’s song

Threw my spear in someone else’s mist

One day you’ll wake up wake up wake up

And you’ll find you’re not invincible at all

But you still walk out into bright lights

Every heart is cheering for you

Now that it’s you’re birthday you’re the king of stolen diamonds

One day you’ll wake up wake up wake up

And you’ll find you’re not invincible at all

But you still walk out into bright lights

Every heart is cheering for you

Now that it’s you’re birthday you’re the king of stolen diamonds

That’s what you are

I’m going to keep on telling myself that until the earth goes flat

That’s what you are

That’s what you are
