I smile at the people with my mouth full of diamonds
I drink water from the pipes in the color of the moon
I smile at my friends with my mouth full of diamonds
Under the weight of golden chains watch me dancing soon
But then I woke up the next day on the streets of Mumbai
No diamonds in my mouth, hungry lonely I stray
Who's got my diamonds? Give them back to me
Be careful motherfucker, I watched a lot of Bruce Lee
I smile at the people with my mouth full of glass
A mile high clubbing with the stewardess sun bunt ass
Havanas with the bearded gentlemen in the first class
I'm going back from Goa with my pockets full of magic grass
On the next day I didn't know my name
(The gray clouds on the blue)
Looked into the mirror I didn't look the same
(A hangover lion from the zoo)
No glass no chain no smile full of the sun
(The great clouds of Peru)
Tomorrow will be better, but today I come undone
(Glitter I come back to you)
