Lyrics

Home-town girl in the city of lights
Sleeps all day, hey, and she plays all night
Takin' her turn on the merry-go-round;
Hearin' her laugh, but it's a lonely sound

Bring her on up;
Take her on down
Hearin' you laugh, babe
It's a lonely sound
Leavin' your home
On a midnight plane;
Hearin' you call, babe
In the sound of the rain

Diamond girls
Is there anybody there at the end of the night?
Is it worth what you pay with your soul?
When you look in the mirror, do you see it right?
Diamond girls aren't made to grow old

Small-town child in the city of dreams
What it was, baby, ain't what it seems
Staking her life on travelin' bands;
Spendin' that soul, yeah, on the one-night stands

Bring her on up;
Take her on down
Hearin' you laugh, babe
It's a lonely sound
Leavin' your home
On a midnight plane;
Hearin' you call, babe
In the sound of the rain

Diamond girls
Is there anybody there at the end of the night?
Is it worth what you pay with your soul?
When you look in the mirror, do you see it right?
Diamond girls aren't made to grow old

Hard times
Makin' your way, baby
Any way you can
But I hear you callin'
And I know you need me

Diamond girls
Is there anybody there at the end of the night?
Is it worth what you pay with your soul?
When you look in the mirror, do you see it right?
Diamond girls aren't made to grow old
Diamond girls
