Lyrics

I fished for a plough, it was heavy as lead
And tired in my body, I wished for a bed
When I lay claim to nothing, seems everything's fine
When I lay claim to nothing..

Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy happy happy all the time time time} x3

King jesus he whispered, 'it is not so far'
And buddha declared, 'it is right where you are'
Oh tell how many tales have you tried
Tell me how many..

Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy happy happy
All the time time time
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy happy happy
All the time time time
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy happy happy
All the time time time

The things that you pray are the things you will be
And the actions of now are tomorrow's memories
So buy for a million, sell for a dime
Buy for a million..

Dust be diamonds, water be wine }
Happy happy happy all the time time time } x3

Somebody tells you, the world's all wrong
And somebody tells you, the road is so long
And if you have an arguement please see your mind
If you have an arguement..

Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy happy happy
All the time time time
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy happy happy
All the time time time
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy happy happy
All the time time time

The man on the corner, is singing the blues
And the man in the office, is studying the news
So you're looking for trouble, so trouble you'll find
So you're looking for trouble..

Dust be diamonds, water be wine }
Happy happy happy all the time time time } x3

I used to have to wind up, my clockwork heart
And my face was addicted, and I did not feel part
So look in the endings, see my secret rhyme
Look in the endings
