Semi-Precious Stone Wolf Parade

Semi-precious stone for Cassandra
Semi-precious stone for your drugs
Semi-precious stone for science
Semi-precious stone for your kiss
But I am standing on a pile of diamonds
That I would like to submit
For your totem poles

For every time we hated the police
Or had to get out of the city to get free
A semi-precious stone, semi-precious stone
For every thumb we ran along the crease
I am standing on a pile of diamonds
That i would like to submit

And lover, it was so windy
The night was filled with furious trees
The streets were strewn with broken branches
Oh, save me from this conspiring breeze

This is the sound
This is the sound
This is the sound
This is the sound
This is the sound
This is the sound
Of the sky foaming at the mouth
