Marc Almond, Kelli Ali - Almost Diamonds lyrics

You kissed my grateful skin
And left a chain of bites and bruises
I'm sorry when you grin
Almost diamonds for the losers
I'll swim inside your tears
And wander through your rooms of silence
The motive crystal clear your tongue is love
And your heart is violence

Almost diamonds scratched perfection
Almost diamonds tears in glycerine

I spied you kissing her you faked your love
My broken brother everybody burns
Secrets spill and smiles are smothered
You have to roll the dice pain is two
And fire is sixes vengance feels nice
I know the shine behind your tricks
Is almost diamonds scratched perfection
Almost diamonds tears in glycerine

Who would have thought
It would end like this you gave a stranger
A dangerous kiss' now your pretty eyes
Say these precious lies
We're just beautiful imitations

Catch our teardrops as they fall
You know we nearly had it all
Fallen tears of glycerine
Gone is all of what we dream

Almost diamonds scratched perfection
Dark reflections love won't find us
Only in dreams
