lyrics

Diane doesn't get high in the evening
Diane's found a brand-new way to deal
Diane waits for chances with an open heart misleading
Her to do only exactly what she feels

Diane doesn’t get low just to spite you
Diane on a desolated road
Diane’s pawn advances on a game board that delights you
Into trusting that she gets just what she’s owed

And Diane
You’ve been a fickle friend
To Maya
Who’s behind you in the end
And Maya
I'm tryin' to understand
How your vapor machinations came to swirl around Diane

Maya holds the ribbon in the distance
Maya bides its colors not to bleed
Maya measures movements in a gilded, frameless mirror
And describes to us exactly what we need

Diane has a love affair with graspin’
Onto dust clouds floating in the air
Oh and Diane watches closely Maya’s swaying turn to thrashin'
All about the room, it's more than she can bear

And Diane
You’ve been a fickle friend
To Maya
Who’s behind you in the end
And Maya
I'm tryin' to understand
How your vapor machinations came to swirl around Diane
