Diamond Dogs
Gilby Clarke Lyrics

This ain't rock'n'roll, this is genocide
This isn't just music, it's complete destruction and devastation.

As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
As they removed you from life support in the hospital.

You asked for the latest party
You wanted to know what the newest and most exciting party was.

With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump
With your fake body parts and lack of real substance.

Dressed like a priest you was, Todd Browning's freak you was
You were dressed like a religious figure and resembled a character from a Todd Browning film, making you a spectacle.

Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee
You were crawling on the ground, in a vulnerable position.

I'm sure you're not protected, for it's plain to see
You are definitely not safe or shielded, it's obvious.

The diamond dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees
The Diamond Dogs are like hunters, illegally hunting for valuable things and hiding to do it.

Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal
They will chase and catch you, like lifeless models with an attractive aura.

I'll keep a friend serene, Oh baby, come unto me
I will keep a friend calm and peaceful, and offer support.

Well, she's come, been and gone. Come out of the garden, baby. You'll catch your death in the fog
She has come and gone, leave your comfortable space and environment or you will face danger.

The Halloween Jack is a real cool cat. And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase
Halloween Jack is a cool and impressive guy who lives in a luxurious space in Manhattan.

The elevator's broke, so he slides down a rope. Onto the street below, oh Tarzie, go man go
The elevator is out of order, so he slides down a rope to street level, encouraging someone named Tarzie to move fast.

Meet his little hussy with his ghost town approach
Meet his girlfriend with a spiritless attitude.

Her face is sans feature, but she wears a Dali brooch
Her face is bland and undefined, but she wears a Salvador Dali brooch.

Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake
Pleasantly nostalgic, similar to something your mother would bake.

Wrecked up and paralyzed, Diamond Dogs are stabilized
The damaged and immobile Diamond Dogs are made stable and steady.

In the year of the scavenger, the season of the bitch
During a time of scavenging and gathering, characterized by difficult women.

Sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch
Walk with a confident swaying motion on the boardwalk, then quickly hide in a ditch.

Just another future song, lonely little kitsch
Just another song about the future, a sad and useless piece of pop culture.

There's gonna be sorrow, try and wake up tomorrow
There will be sadness in the future, try to stay positive and continue on.

Bow-wow, woof woof, bow-wow, wow. Call them the Diamond Dogs
Mimicking a dog barking, calling the Diamond Dogs by their name.

Diamond Dogs rule, ok. Beware of the Diamond Dogs
Diamond Dogs are in charge, be cautious and cautious of them.

Hey-hey-hey-hey
An exclamation or cheer.
