Ding Dang - My Brightest Diamond

You were working for a man behind a velvet curtain

You were good and you were certain

Of what you were headed for

But then snap kerplam kalamazoo

Low and behold he was lying to you

And with revelation come repercussions

That have you at your end

In a great SNAFU your arrow bends

Did you set your sights upon a target moving

Did you hope in some fickle false fable

A glass is at the top, but the diamond‘s on the bottom

What is a rightful dream, or a better expectation

All things are not as they appear

That which was far has become near

In a great SNAFU it comes, but disappears

All things are not as they appear

That which was far has become near

With a twist or two you’re grinning ear to ear
