This ain't rock'n'roll. This is genocide!As they pulled you out of the oxygen tentYou asked for the latest partyWith your silicone hump and your ten inch stumpDressed like a priest you wasTod Browning's freak you wasCrawling down the alley on your hands and kneeI'm sure you're not protected, for it's plain to seeThe diamond dogs are poachers and they hide behind treesHunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal(Will they come?)I'll keep a friend serene(Will they come?)Oh baby, come unto me(Will they come?)Well, she's come, been and gone.Come out of the garden, babyYou'll catch your death in the fogYoung girl, they call them the Diamond DogsYoung girl, they call them the Diamond DogsThe Halloween Jack is a real cool catAnd he lives on top of Manhattan ChaseThe elevator's broke, so he slides down a ropeOnto the street below, oh Tarzie, go man goMeet his little hussy with his ghost town approachHer face is sans feature, but she wears a Dali broochSweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bakeWrecked up and paralyzed, Diamond Dogs are sableized(Will they come?)I'll keep a friend serene(Will they come?)Oh baby, come unto me(Will they come?)Well, she's come, been and gone.Come out of the garden, babyYou'll catch your death in the fogYoung girl, they call them the Diamond DogsYoung girl, they call them the Diamond DogsOo-oo-ooh, call them the Diamond DogsOo-oo-ooh, call them the Diamond DogsIn the year of the scavenger, the season of the bitchSashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditchJust another future song, lonely little kitsch(There's gonna be sorrow) try and wake up tomorrow(Will they come?)I'll keep a friend serene(Will they come?)Oh baby, come unto me(Will they come?)Well, she's come, been and gone.Come out of the garden, babyYou'll catch your death in the fogYoung girl, they call them the Diamond DogsYoung girl, they call them the Diamond DogsOo-oo-ooh, call them the Diamond DogsOo-oo-ooh, call them the Diamond DogsBow-wow, woof woof, bow-wow, wowCall them the Diamond DogsDogsCall them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call themCall them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them, oooCall them the Diamond DogsKeep coolDiamond Dogs rule, OKHey-hey-hey-heyBeware of the Diamond DogsBeware of the Diamond DogsBeware of the Diamond DogsBeware of the Diamond Dogs
