True to Life

So it gets to seven

And I think of nothing

But living in darkness

And the diamond lady

Well, she's not telling

Don't even know her name

It's amazing

Times have changed

In days of old

But imagination'll leave you

Standing out in the cold

Dancing city

Now you're talking

But where's your soul?

You've a thousand faces

I'll never know

True to life

True to life

There are complications

And compensations

If you know the game

Agitated in xenon night

I'll take you home again

Travel way downtown

In search of nothing

But the sky at night

And the diamond lady

When she's not talking

It's alright

True to life

True to life

True to life

So I turn the pages

And tell the story

From town to town

People tell me

"Be determined

Poor country boy"

But too much luck

And too much trouble

Much time alone

But arm in arm

With my seaside diamond

I'll soon be home
