Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ah, ah

Madness is my old friend

We don't need fancy drinks and penthouse suites to run a riot

And you, you were just a fling

A beautiful addition to the valley of my vices

We're different people

Adam and Evil

Dreaming alone

You smiled at the sunrise

I longed for a last night

Baby, you know

The diamond days are done

The diamond days are gone

And I would be a fool to carry on

I know there's nothing wrong

But I'm already gone

Like headlights in the dawn, we've had our fun

The diamond days are done

Pearls hang around my neck

You tie a noose on me with every gift, a velvet coffin

Down Mulholland Drive

I pray to Hell's Angels that we crash in the vanilla sky

We're different people

Adam and Evil

Dreaming alone

The diamond days are done

The diamond days are gone

And I would be a fool to carry on

I know there's nothing wrong

But I'm already gone

Like headlights in the dawn, we've had our fun

The diamond days are done

...

The diamond days are done

...

Madness is my old friend

We don't need fancy drinks and penthouse suites to run a riot

The diamond days are done

The diamond days are gone

And I would be a fool to carry on

The diamond days are done

...
