Dust Be Diamonds lyrics

I fished for a plow, it was heavy as lead
And tired in my body, I wished for a bed
When I lay claim to nothing, seems everything's mine
When I lay claim to nothing

Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time

King Jesus, he whispered, "It is not so far"
And Buddha declared, "It is right where you are"
Oh, tell me how many tears have you dried
Tell me how many

The things that you claim are the things you will be
And the actions of now are tomorrow's memory
So buy for a million, sell for a dime
Buy for a million

Somebody tells you the world's all wrong
And somebody tells you the road is so long
And if you have an argument, please see your mind
If you have an argument

The man on the corner is singing the blues
And the man in the office is studying the news
So you're looking for trouble, so trouble you'll find
So you're looking for trouble

I used to have to wind up my clockwork heart
And my face was addicted and I did not feel part
So look in the end act, see my secret crime
Look in the end act

Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
Oh, dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
