Venusian Diamond Lyrics

Venusian Diamond lyrics

VENUSIAN DIAMOND

by Carole King, Rick Evers & Navarro



On the thirty-first day of 

 the summer moon 

In the marketplace

Soembody touched my hand and said

I was a woman of taste

Then with a flutter of wings

AAmid the clutter of things

I saw the Venusian Diamond 

  through a see of grace



I said "Lay all of your money down

And I will be your own

Do it if you can

If you don't, you better

  leave it alone"



Then there appeared a serpent hanging

Like a thunder rope

He said, "Pull me" -I did

And fell into the wrong end of a telescope

SO I began to run

I knew not to where I'd come

I could hear the Venusian Diamond 

  and it gave me hope



It said, "Shatter all your images

And I will be your own

Do it if you can

If you don't, you better 

  leave it alone"
