Screaming Trees - Grey Diamond Desert Lyrics






Windshield frames a picture of the night
Cold driving, desert highway line
Road keeps twisting slow so I know
Recognize the diamonds flashing by

Nothing I fear could touch me here
Oh Lord, it won't change

I've seen the way they turn the talk around
And all the children going down
You've got to move along until your gone
You've got to leave this ugly town

But the words they said don't leave my head
Oh Lord, it won't change
Oh Lord, it won't change
It won't change...

I never thought the night would find me here
Black raindrops washed away with drunken tears
I live another lie in every mile
One wasted day, one million wasted years

Better keep on going
It's the only thing I know
Oh Lord, it won't change
Oh Lord, it won't change
It won't change

    I bought this from Newbury Comics after I heard ....ah can't remember, the one with Dollar Bill, which they signed for me at Tower Records in Havard Sq ...a $1 bill, is that a felony ....demarcation of US currency??

  12. d.... ....

    i love this fucking band

  13. F.... S....

    this is my generation's music

  14. d.... ....

    My cd came in and although the music is great, the cd is not recognized by the internet so when I burn it to play in my mp3 player, it comes up "unknown". Did I buy a bad copy? The cd was sealed and brand new with the sticker running along the top. I think it may just be a problem with the SST label.

  15. d.... ....

    I just bought the cd on Amazon. Can't wait for it to come in. I also bought Aaron Freeman's new one, Marvelous Clouds. He's the lead singer of Ween. Another fav band of mine.

    @HMG5588 This is St. Louis !!!!

  19. J.... C....

    @HMG5588 Masca from Dinasaur jr. and Barret Jackson play with people who can't sing. Oh and There would be no QTA if mark didn't pick up Josh homm. Seen you like the Rev. bought Jimbo a shot of yager here in St. louis. So we probably like a lot of the same. Let it go man. to me Mark Lanegan's Whiskey for the holy ghost IS the best most poetic kick ass album ever!!!

  20. J.... C....

    @HMG5588 So was Dylan, this is not a forum. they're like aholes all got 'em.
    If you dont like em dont listen, i have a broad taste to and can play Sap as well.
    Sorry if you don't feel Mark Lanegan a great.

  21. J.... C....

    @HMG5588 For over 20 years of great song writing, singing and is still kicking with some of the best musicians in rock. I have an ear and Lanegan's right up there with the greats. "Long gone day" Mad Season at the Moore, two of rocks greats singing like gods. You must like some wierd shit if you don't appreciate this...

  22. J.... C....

    @HMG5588 Fuck off, Marks the man Genious with the voice of an angel

  23. a.... ....

    easily my favorite song by these guys
    its so ethereal

  24. r.... ....

    Lanegan's voice, Gary Lee's dulcet guitar tones, Steve Fisk's spare keyboard contribution...Near perfect. "Invisible Lantern" is a phenomenal work altogether. Thanks for posting.

  25. g.... ....

    one of my favorite screaming trees songs !
