[Verse 1]

You’ll know quite soon what my mistake was
For those on horseback or dog sled

I know she’s playing poker with the rest, the rest
And if your friends don’t come back to you
And you know this is madness

But I must be flowing liquid diamonds
Liquid, liquid diamonds

And you're doing oh so well these days
You do it again and I say
It's coming back again
Something like that
This Saturday, such was it
Can he bring me those jeans
Keep it back, Daddy's down
Preaching back and to himself
Keep it just between us
It’s, it's liquid
Liquid, liquid
