WIRE
"Diamonds In Cups"
(Graham Lewis / Colin Newman / Wire)

Sinless from Venus, Mars' father's sun
Steals from the shadows when the day has begun
Grow with good fortune, shrug off despair
The path that is progress is under repair

The wheel of good fortune spins diamonds in cups
Be in the right place, believe in your luck

Steer by the stars when you're lost, all at sea
Off course with no purpose, just wanting to be
Be a good witness, of all that you've seen
A wanting for better, the best that you've been

Acts of forgiveness give virtue in spades
As thoughts of transgression gradually fade
Turn over and over and over a new leaf
Don't come back in anger - start with belief

The course of creation is often quite strange
Keep your mind open, be willing to change
For what else is there? What have you got?
The sum of your actions, the plans you forgot

It's all more or less then, doesn't add up
The wheel of good fortune spins diamonds in cups
Be in the right place, believe in your luck
The wheel of good fortune spins diamonds in cups
