The Family Jewels
I can't break the cycleAm I just a fool?Falling down like dominosHit by family jewels
Pass it down from kid to kidThe chain will never endUnless I decide to go to itWill I see the end?
Oh, don't you find it strange?Only thing we share is one last nameDid I beat you at your own game?Typical of me to put us all to shame
Welcome to the family jewelsCoal to diamonds, sold to foolsWelcome to the family jewelsSimmer and suffer, can't keep his coolI can't keep my coolI can't keep my cool
Family said that I decidedTo live a loveless lifeIs it my fault we stay divided'Cause I've got too much pridePass the parcel, wrap unwrapAnd open up the locksOut come flying all the secretsOf Pandora's Box
Oh you think I'm unfitLittle did you know that I was cut for itNo glass slipper will ever fit'Cause I could never see a diamond in it
Welcome to the family jewelsCoal to diamonds, sold to foolsWelcome to the family jewelsSimmer and suffer, can't keep his coolI can't keep my coolI can't keep my cool
And when we're in the darkIt echoes in your heartAnd when you're far awayIt beckons me to stay
And when we're in the darkIt echoes in your heartAnd when you're far awayIt beckons me to stay
Welcome to the family jewelsCoal to diamonds, sold to foolsWelcome to the family jewelsSimmer and suffer, can't keep his cool
Welcome to the family jewelsCoal to diamonds, sold to foolsWelcome to the family jewelsSimmer and suffer, can't keep his cool
I can't keep my coolI can't keep my cool
