Diamond Dogs
Enrico Ruggeri Lyrics

As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
As you were removed from the oxygen tent, where you had been undergoing medical treatment,

You asked for the latest party
You immediately asked about the latest, most popular social gathering.

With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump
You were adorned with artificial body implants and had been amputated by ten inches, leaving a stump.

Dressed like a priest you was
You were wearing priestly clothes, resembling a member of the religious clergy.

Tod brownings freak you was
You were a human oddity, like those of a circus, just like the ones in the films of Tod Browning.

Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee
You moved along a narrow path on your hands and knees,

Im sure you're not protected, for it's plain to see
It's easy to see that you're vulnerable and without protection.

The diamond dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees
The diamond dogs are ruthless hunters who lay low behind the trees waiting for their prey.

Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal
These hunters will track you ruthlessly down, appearing to be indifferent to their own existence and with an irresistable, deadly appeal.

(will they come? ) Ill keep a friend serene (will they come? ) Oh baby, come unto me (will they come? ) Well, she's come, been and gone.
There is uncertainty about the arrival of these hunters, and the singer is looking for a calming presence, and eventually, they did arrive and left.

Come out of the garden, baby Youll catch your death in the fog Young girl, they call them the diamond dogs
The singer urges the woman to leave the garden, as it may prove fatal to her, and refers to the hunters as the diamond dogs.

The halloween jack is a real cool cat And he lives on top of manhattan chase The elevators broke, so he slides down a rope Onto the street below, oh tarzie, go man go
Halloween Jack, the epitome of coolness, resides at the top of Manhattan Chase, but when the elevator is out of order, he uses a rope to slide down onto the street, urging Tarzie to follow suit.

Meet his little hussy with his ghost town approach Her face is sans feature, but she wears a dali brooch Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake Wrecked up and paralyzed, diamond dogs are sableized
Halloween Jack's companion is a promiscuous woman with an unfathomable facial expression who wears a Dali pin, her sweet charm resembling the kind of baked goodies the mother makes, but this woman is damaged and powerless, just like other hunters who’ve been caught.

(will they come? ) Ill keep a friend serene (will they come? ) Oh baby, come unto me (will they come? ) Well, she's come, been and gone.
The possibility of the hunters' arrival still haunts the singer's mind, reaching out for a peaceful presence, to no avail.

Oo-oo-ooh, call them the diamond dogs
The singer repeats the song's title as the chorus, implying that the hunters are rightly called diamond dogs.

In the year of the scavenger, the season of the bitch Sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch Just another future song, lonely little kitsch (there's gonna be sorrow) try and wake up tomorrow
It is a time of scavengers and of mean-spirited beasts, and they walk confidently along the boardwalk, but disappear in a hurry after their work is done. This is just another shallow, insignificant song that will fade away, leaving us with a sense of despair to wake up to.

Beware of the diamond dogs
The singer warns us to be wary of the hunters, the diamond dogs.

Keep cool Diamond dogs rule, ok Hey-hey-hey-hey
The singer tells us to stay calm while the hunters, the diamond dogs, hold the cards, with supreme authority.

Beware of the diamond dogs Beware of the diamond dogs Beware of the diamond dogs Beware of the diamond dogs Beware of the diamond dogs
The singer emphatically repeats the warning to watch out for the hunters, the diamond dogs.
