lyrics

It's a big, old, plastic world
coated iridescence, makes me shimmer like a pearl
I get sold in drugstore box
waiting on a special day
the golden-painted glass inside
it flatters
And you'll wear it to the dance

You may find you're allergic to me
I turn your fingers and your wrist that sickly copper shade of green
And some may say I'm cheap
but I know I'm worth the cost
I'll never be a wedding ring

So open up your heart and sing with me
all you missing pieces and broken jewelry
This world will never yield it's too damn tough
but I cut, and I shine like a diamond in the rough

Stored in a goodwill box
waiting on the moving day
I smell the rust inside the lock
I get tangled in other men's chains
I get shuffled, I get angry
turn a shade of barely sane

So open up your heart and sing with me
all you missing pieces and broken jewelry
This world will never yield it's too damn tough
but I cut, and I shine like a diamond in the rough
