lyrics

"Hello, brilliant diamond," he said,
"I've had the time I never thought I could
and if I could let it,
you know I would let it go on and on and on.
But I've got to break it to you, honey,
here's some news that you might not like . . ."
"Why wait?" she says, now, impatiently, now,
"Tell me here and now; I'm all ears anyhow."
"Gorgeous creature," he replies,
"with the kobold eyes, I wish that I could take you home tonight..
but the truth is: I'm a hired killer, a loaded gun brought in to bring you down."

"You've gone friends and foes alike," he says,
"Don't joke like that," she says.
"It's not a joke, my love, I've got the gun, the bag, the plan, but listen:
I've also got love for you and I can feel it too: that you also have love for me.
So please, sit and have a drink, listen to my plan and tell me what you think."

"Tell me what you think . . .
Don't play by the rules . . .
Tell me what you want . . ."

("I want to shoot him, shoot him down now…")
She shoot the dead man down!
