Diamonds Lyrics by Bee Gees

Diamonds

Looking for direction , the mighty Amazon
Only one ambition , to find the precious stone
When I was a boy it was a vision
Now it all just seems like deja-vu
Maybe it was all a premonition
Searchin' for treasure in the land of Peru , ooh

Diamonds [ diamonds] up , down , in and out of the Amazon
Diamonds [ diamonds] , he won't stop , the kid goes on and on

Saw the holy temple , a man was on his knees
Sacrificion ceremony , the Gods they wanna please , oh
Then the people shouted with emotion
Try to scale the giant pyramid
Following the writing on the sandstone
[saying the stone was in the room of the dead] oh no no no

Diamonds [diamonds] up , down , in and out of the Amazon
Diamonds [diamonds] he won't stop , the kid goes on and on

Oh burning with fever , I'm dying of hunger
I'm searching all night , searching all night , all night

[break]

Then I jumped and run into the jungle
The solid ground gave way beneath my feet
Fallen inside an icy tomb forever
[the rock he was after is now out of reach]

Diamonds [diamonds] up , down , in and out the Amazon
Diamonds [diamonds] he won't stop , the kid goes on and on
Diamonds [diamonds] up , down , in and out the Amazon
Diamonds [diamonds] he won't stop , the kid goes on and on
Diamonds [diamonds] up , down , in and out of the Amazon
Diamonds [diamonds] he won't stop , the kid goes on and on [fade]
