Shake your diamonds lyrics - The Rentals song

My soul is not at peace under the blood red sky
As Q36 rains vengeance down on us tonight
Wake up the King and Queen and tell them the news
The words of H.G. Wells are all coming true

Break down the palace gates and dance tonight! (Shake your diamonds)
Raise up your glass and toast the afterlife! (Shake your diamonds)
(Shake your diamonds; shake your diamonds)

Born under mushroom clouds in 1969
I've dreamt of Armageddon, all my splendid life
It's finally here and I don't know what to do
Should I confess my velvet crimes to the mercy of the moon?

Break down the palace gates and dance tonight! (Shake your diamonds)
Raise up your glass and toast the afterlife! (Shake your diamonds)
(Shake your diamonds; shake your diamonds)

I'm moving through acres of movers and shakers
But, I'm still a believer in my underachievers

Break down the palace gates and dance tonight! (Shake your diamonds)
Raise up your glass and toast the afterlife! (Shake your diamonds)
Now, put your arms around and hold me tight! (Shake your diamonds)
This is the last dance on this royal (Q36) night! (Shake your diamonds)
(Shake your diamonds; shake your diamonds)
Shake your diamonds, in the afterlife!

Q36 rains vengeance down on us tonight
