lyrics

"Semi Precious Rock"
by Orville Neeley

Holding on for dear wife
My petty struggles never end
Dangling carrots of love
For one point five carats
Wrapped in precious metal

In my delusional
Circumnavigation round the globe
Of your affection
I've found it hard to
Get right to the point

I'm full of lust
I’m getting stuck
Hung up on the cut of some

Semi precious stone
Give up collecting
For just one Diamond
Semi precious stones
Neither power nor beauty
Are for us to own

Golding out for what's mine
I find I don't own anything
Obsessively blind
While mining traces
From feelings never expressed

In my delusional
Fixation on some detail
While ignoring everyone
I've found it hard to
Let go and have fun

Where is my lust
Have I been cussed?
I'm hung up on the cut of some

Semi precious stone
Give up collecting
For just one diamond
Semi precious stones
Neither power nor beauty
Are for us to own
