A diamond in the sleaze 
Down on bended knees 
A thousand grizzled nerves hangin' loose at the end 

It's later than you think 
It's gone before you blink 
Out of the crosshairs and 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? 

A lion in the cage 
Shakes his golden mane 
He doesn't care who notices where he's gonna lie 

You came to beg a meal 
You're older than you feel 
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? 

I won't ever let you go 
I won't ever let you go 

The doctor takes a rest 
Inside a hornets nest 
Polaroids of patients who refuse to be cured 

A life lived under glass 
Stolen Cadillacs 
Can you hear the saxophones peelin' 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? 

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
