i was in the coal mine picking up diamonds
that the miners had left behind, behind, behind
and i admired their cold shine
simple & bright
and i pocketed many in the cavernous night
clear, when held up to the light

you belong to no one
you are easy to be around
cuz you belong to no one
you are easy to be around
cuz you belong to no one
you are easy to be around

and i scattered them on the ground...

in the wake of your eyes it decays
you despise any weight
and because and because
and because you give it up
you are easy to be around
i like to walk beside you
y're so easy to be around
it's like i'm not even walking beside you
we are rolling along the ground
one shadow made of mercury
we were two till we melted down
now y're easy to be around

y're easy to be around...

i was in the coal mine picking up diamonds
so heavy i had to leave them all behind
coming up from the mineshaft
sparkling bright
see me laughing having nothing in an infinite night
clear, and dangling in the light

same as what you came with
makes you easy to be around
cuz the door remains the same width
y're so easy to be around
both forgetting what our name is
in a dance as the sun goes down

you are easy to be around
y're easy to be around
y're easy to be around
y're easy to be around
