Black Diamond Lyrics

Out on the street for a living
Picture's only begun
Got you under their thumb
Hit it

Out on the streets for a living
Picture's only begun
Your day is sorrow and madness
Got you under their thumb

Whoo, black diamond
Whoo, black diamond

Darkness...

   While the prostitute angle is correct I believe, it was also the name of an unwritten song idea Gene had after looking at his make-up. Named Black Diamond. Paul beat him to the punch and came back the next day with a completed song.

   This song was written by Paul Stanley and reflected his thoughts about the prostitutes he saw in New York while he was growing up. It was strongly influenced by the recent Rolling Stones song, Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (the resemblance can be heard in the Kiss song's "Doo Woops." The "Black Diamond" is a older and wiser African American prostitute that and younger hooker goes to for advice, etc. For as long as anyone can remember, this has been the traditional Kiss song played just before encores.

   The song is about prostitution and homelessness, how it is hard to quit after getting involved.
