A diamond in the sleaze, down on bended knees A thousand grizzled nerves hanging loose at the ends It's later than you think, it's gone before you blink Out of the crosshairs, 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, go, oh?
A lion in a cage shakes his golden mane He doesn't care who notices where he's gonna lie He came to beg a meal, you're older than you feel The 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, go, oh? I won't ever let you go I won't ever let you go
The doctor takes a rest inside a hornet's nest With Polaroids of patients who refuse to be cured A life lived under glass and stolen Cadillacs Can you hear the saxophones peeling 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, go, oh? 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
