   Verse
  Hidden in the mountains
  Under the earth and stone
  A cubic mile of perfection
  A treasure no one has known
  
  One man came upon this motherlode
  Built himself a thousand room chateau
  
  Verse
  He's the emperor of diamonds
  Master of the prize
  He's got a hold on happiness
  And all that money can buy
  
  Everyday he lives in fascination
  This is not an everyday temptation
  
  Corus
  It's the diamond as big as the Ritz
  What you gonna do with this, tell me
  Who's gonn save you when you're a slave to
  The diamond as big as the Ritz
  
  Verse
  A blessing can become a curse
  If you keep it to yourself
  Your own exaggeration
  Is not so good for your health
  It's the prophecy of the unattainable dream
  If you take one look behind the shine
  It doesn't always gleam
  
  Everyday he lives in fascination
  This is not an everyday temptation
  
  Chorus
  It was a diamond as big as the Ritz
  What you gonna do with this
  Who's gonna save you when you're a slave to
  The diamond as big as the Ritz
  
  Cool under pressure
  Diamond
  Sparkle of treasure
  Diamond
  Crystalline measure
  Diamond
  Ornamental pleasure
  Diamond
  In the corner of your eye
  Diamond
  Make a grown man cry
  Diamond
  All the seeds you've sown
  
  Chorus
  Greed can crumble castle walls
  Greed can purchase you thrills
  Power is a dangerous thing
  It can maim it can kill
  
  It's the prophecy of the unattainable dream
  If you take one look behind the shine
  It doesn't always gleam
  
  Chorus
  It was a diamond as big as the Ritz
  What you gonna do with this, tell me
  Who's gonna save you when you're a slave to
  A diamond as big as the Ritz
  
  Chorus
  It was a diamond as big as the Ritz
  What you gonna do with this, tell me
  Who's gonna save you when you're a slave to
  A diamond as big as the Ritz
