Diamond Age Songtext
von Basking Sharks

I′ve seen that face before
Cracked mirror and a creaking floor
I've heard that town clock chime
Another place and another time
I′ve done a lot of things I don't want to think about

I've seen that face before once in a diamond age
It seems like a long time now, longer than I can say
I was upstairs alone thinking of Dorian Gray
I′ve been a lot of things I don′t want to think about
I've been that face before once in a diamond age


My face was once as lined as the cracks in my hand
I saw the mirror laugh and drown it in the sand
I′ve been a lot of things I don't want to think about
I′ve been that face before once in a diamond age

I've seen that face before, my troubles sitting at the bar
I′ve heard that bell chime another place and another time
I've done a lot of things that don't show on my face
I was a man before my shadow took the chase

It happened once in a quayside bar here in the diamond age
You′re the shadow and I′m the star here in the diamond age
I keep running but I don't get far here in the diamond age
I′m the man with the golden scar here in the diamond age
