I've seen that place before,
crack me on a cricking floor.
I've heard that sound clock chime,
another place and another time.
I've done a lot of things you don't want to think about.
I've seen that place before,
once in a dying 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 you don't want to think about.
I've been that place before,
once in a dying age.
My face was once as blind as the cracks in my hand.
I saw the mirror laugh and ground it into sand.
I've been a lot of things you don't want to think about.
I've been that place before,
once in a dying age.
I've seen that place before,
my girl was sitting at the bar.
I heard that bell chime,
another place and another time.
I've done a lot of things that don't show 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 star,
here in the diamond age.
