|
Diamonds, roses, |
|
I need Moses |
|
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this |
|
Red River of pain |
|
I don't necessarily buy any key to the future or happiness |
|
But I need a little place in the sun sometimes or |
|
I think I will die |
|
And everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near |
|
Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer |
|
So I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here |
|
With an empty apartment and a best friend who is queer |
|
Every time |
|
I see him he smiles |
|
And he tells me how well he's walking these miles |
|
But he never ever asks a single thing about me |
|
If I die, he'd hear about it eventually |
|
Your diamonds, roses, |
|
I need Moses |
|
To cross this sea of loneliness |
|
Part this |
|
Red River of pain, oh, oh, oh |
|
And everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near |
|
Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer |
|
So I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here |
|
Go home to empty apartment and call a best friend who is a queer |
|
Oh diamonds, roses, |
|
I need Moses |
|
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this |
|
Red River of pain |
|
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this |
|
Red River of pain |
|
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this |
|
Red River of pain, of pain |
|
Oh, oh |
