Diamond Day - Example feat Vashti Bunyan

[Verse 1:]
Ahhh, the smell of piss
I don't know why but you feel alive
When it's half past 5 and you take a leakage
The man in the mirror looks back to speak his -
Mind - find it sane to wonder
Nothing's clearer. Why am I here?
Do I have a use or am I a number?
Did he make me when he made the thunder?
And if so why?
Who? When? How?
And why should I think this now?
And why do I need these eye n brows?
Cows make milk, milk is useful
We make sh_t that is used to kill so
What's the point of us being here!?

[Hook:]
It started off as a diamond day
I saw myself in a hazy way
What's the point of me in this world?
You can venture about the place
It seems sh_t stares you in the face
Guess sometimes you never can tell

[Verse 2:]
Go to unearth the answer
Strange that I've never been a chancer
But things look darker, time to scarper
I don't think twice when I grab my parker
And slam the door don't turn a shoulder
I can't get old be none the wiser
And close my eyes at night
Just never knowing quite
What the f_ck we contribute to constitute
The wrongs we do and still be plain sailing
Top the food chain and
Still bloody complaining
I set my course for Truthville
The truth-will surface maybe, (maybe)

[Bridge:]
I left without my a to the z
So what do I say to my head
I'll never find the answers I'm looking for
I'm sure, I must just look unsure

[Hook:]
It started off as a diamond day
I saw myself in a hazy way
What's the point of me in this world?
You can venture about the place
It seems sh_t stares you in the face
Guess sometimes you never can tell

[Verse 3:]
I'm strolling, (he's strolling)
The scenery is rolling
I stop (he stops)
Who's that talking? (Who's that talking)
To the left I see a cornfield
To the right I see some cows
In front I see a set of doors
I think these things are metaphors
For what? Don't ask the question
I talk to the cow for an ounce of sense then
Don't look back head through the doors
I'm back in my bathroom in the mirror
Staring, I've solved the common mystery
Of why we have a history, epiphany
And now this piss seems bliss to me
Cows make milk but what's it for
And corn tastes sh_t if you eat it raw
But we're so f_cking clever
Went and put the 2 together
(Went and put the 2 together
Went and put the 2 together)
And that's the point of us in this world

[Hook: x2]
It started off as a diamond day
I saw myself in a hazy way
What's the point of me in this world?
You can venture about the place
It seems sh_t stares you in the face
Guess sometimes you never can tell
