The Handsome Family A Thousand Diamond Rings Lyrics

INTRO:
VERSE 1:
A smashed windshield, the dust on a pickup truck
Shine with silver secrets in the Albuquerque sun
The light makes jewels of pawn shops and drive-thru banks
Wrinkled faces staring out the windows of the laundromat
CHORUS:
And even the broken glass scattered in the street
Shines like a thousand diamond rings
INTERLUDE:
VERSE 2:
Neon signs above the old mo-tels,
warehouse stores and strip malls, houses sprawled across the hills
The sunset's a bird with wings made out of fire
Parking lots turn to gold as it glides across the sky
And every night from 6:00 to 6:05
The desert dirt shimmers like a sea of watermelon light
CHORUS:
Even the broken glass shattered in the street
Shines like a thousand diamond rings
OUTRO:
