A diamond in the sleaze,
  down on bended knees,
  a thousand grizzled nerves
  hangin' loose at the end,
  
  It's later than you think,
  it's gone before you blink,
  out of the crosshairs
  and into the crowd,
  
  Do you want to see me suffering?
  Do you want to see me suffering?
  
  How could you let a good thing go?
  How could you let a good thing go?
  
  A lion in the cage
  shakes his golden mane,
  he doesn't care who notices
  where he's gonna lie,
  
  You came to beg a meal,
  you're older than you feel,
  keyboard of your memory
  is coming apart,
  
  It's a weight upon my shoulder.
  It's a weight upon my shoulder.
  
  How could you let a good thing go?
  How could you let a good thing go?
  
  I won't ever let you go.
  I won't ever let you go.
  
  The doctor takes a rest
  inside a hornets nest,
  polaroids of patients
  who refuse to be cured,
  
  A life lived under glass,
  stolen cadillacs,
  can you hear the saxophones
  peelin' the paint?
  
  Do you want to see me suffering?
  Do you want to see me suffering?
  
  How could you let a good thing go?
  How could you let a good thing go?
  
  I won't ever let you go.
  I won't ever let you go.
  I won't ever let you go.
  I won't ever let you go.
