Diamond City Blues

Lyrics transcript

Reviewed lyrics for Diamond City Blues.

I got Diamond City Blues

Ain't got nobody on my side

I got Diamond City Blues

Ain't got nobody on my side

Mayor keeps on talking

And Piper keeps on asking why

Green lights shining through the stadium

Rain falling on the street

Everybody's got a story

Everybody's got a secret they keep

There's a detective in the office

With a cigarette in his hand He says, I've

seen some strange things, friend I said, Nick, you

wouldn't understand He just smiled beneath his fedora

said I've heard that one before then he looked

out through the window like he'd heard it all

before Diamond City blues green light on the wall

everybody's scared of something and nobody talks at all

Diamond City blue there's trouble in the air

everybody's watching everybody like nobody belongs there

I walked down to the market

Tried to buy myself a drink The bartender looked

me over Said you look like you need to

think I said lady in this commonwealth Thinking's how

you get killed She poured another whiskey And said

then drink until you're still

Piper's got a newspaper And a question in her

eyes

Mayor's got a secret And a smile full of

lies

There's a stranger at the noodle stand

There's a shadow down the hall Nobody says exactly

what they mean Nobody says anything at all Diamond

city blue

Green light on the wall

Everybody's scared of something And nobody talks at all

Diamond City Blues

You can feel it in the street

Everybody's looking for somebody

Everybody's hiding something underneath Nick says everybody's got a

past I said mine was blown away He said

that doesn't mean it's gone I said maybe that's

the price we pay

He tapped his cigarette ash And stared out at

the rain Funny thing about the commonwealth Everybody's carrying

somebody else's pain

Thank you.

So I walked beneath the floodlights

Past the walls and through the gate

Heard somebody whisper my name Like they already knew

my fate I asked the night guard, who was

that? He said, nobody you should know

Then he turned away from me And watch the

darkness grow Diamond City blue

Green light on the wall

Everybody's scared of something And nobody talks at all

Diamond City blue

There's nowhere left to hide

In a city built on secrets

Everybody's got something buried in its pipe

I got Diamond City Blue

Ain't got nobody on my side
