text: She lives in a house thats way back off the road
  Theres a man with a lantern and he carries her soul
  A coal stove and a bed, a skillet and a hound
  She drove a camel through a needle in this sinking boardwalk town
  Shes my black market baby
  Shes my black market baby
  Shes a diamond that wants to stay coal
  Wants to stay coal
  I swang out wide with her on hells iron gate
  Anything that you wanted, you could have
  My eyes say their prayers to her, sailors ring her bell
  The way a moth mistakes a light bulb for the moon and goes to hell
  Shes my black market baby
  Shes my black market baby
  Shes a diamond that wants to stay coal
  Wants to stay coal
  Theres no prayer like desire, theres amnesia in her kiss
  Shes a swan and a pistol and she will follow you like this
  In Moberly, Missouri at the Iroquois Hotel
  She checked in with the President and she ran up quite a bill
  Shes my black market baby
  Shes my black market baby
  Shes a diamond that wants to stay coal
  Wants to stay coal
  Shes whiskey in a teacup, she gives blondes a lousy name
  Shes a bonsai Aphrodite and a ticket back to Spain
  Shes a hard way to go, there aint no way to stop
  Every time you play the red, the black is coming up
  Shes my black market baby
  Shes my black market baby
  Shes a diamond that wants to stay coal
  Wants to stay coal
  Wants to stay coal
