Kansas - Diamonds And Pearls Lyrics
The stage is set, the race is on
To drink the cup 'til every drop is gone
And when you make it to the top
The hunger doesn't stop
You climb the ladder to success
You find the grass is greener still
On someone else's hill
[Chorus]
Diamonds and pearls
Silver and gold
Soon fade away
Empty and cold
Nothing remains of the things that we strive to attain
Only the love that is lasting will not be in vain
They say that pride's before the fall
The stakes are high, you know who takes it all
To make it through the needle's eye
You just can't live a lie
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]

Kansas Diamonds And Pearls Comments
Doesn anyone know who plays the saxophone is this song and also "Face It".
Fantastic message and music!
Huge Kansas fan. Love this album. Sue me mofos.
This album is definately underrated...such a shame...
I love it
don't overlook the message and the reality of it
found myself some new(to me)prog/rock to listen too. i dig that track.
Great tune! Love live in Omaha 1982 too.
Loving everything about this song. Nice feeling to it, the piano part is SICK, the vocals are AWESOME and the whole thing sounds incredible! Surprised this doesn't have more listeners!
@Triin-Berit Kornel It reminds me a bit of Steely Dan (Think of their Aja & Gaucho albums)
Snappy, Funky, in all ways an under rated song
this song could have been
on any of livgrens solo albums
One of those magical Kansas songs that definitely should be included in every "Best of "of this band that aims for respect by any true Kansas fan...Love the dreamy part that starts at. 2.26 It's different from the more rocking songs of the band, with a Supertramp like sax, Chicago)influences etc. It's a good example of the band's versatility.Thanks for the upload !
Kansas previously employed a sax player on "It Takes a Woman's Love (to Make a Man)" from their third album, _Masque_ (1975).
Ouvi este álbum inteiro várias vezes nos ultimos dias. Banda desconhecida hj em dia mas talvez uma das melhores que já ouvi.
