Diamonds, roses,
|
I need Moses,
|
to cross this sea of loneliness,
|
part this red river of pain.
|
|
and I don't necessarily buy,
|
ever key to the future,
|
or happiness but I,
|
need a little place in the sun sometimes or I think I will die.
|
|
and everything is somewhere,
|
and nowhere is near,
|
everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer,
|
and I'm just this tragic figure in this corner over here,
|
with an empty apartment and my best friend who is a queer.
|
|
and everytime, seeing me smiles,
|
and he tells me how well he's walking these miles,
|
but he never asks a single thing about me,
|
if I dies, he'd hear about it eventually,
|
|
Diamonds, roses,
|
I need Moses,
|
to cross this sea of loneliness,
|
part this red river of pain,
|
oh, oh, oh, oh and everywhere is somewhere, and nowhere is near,
|
everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer,
|
and I'm just this tragic figure in this corner over here,
|
come home to an empty apartment and calls her best friend who is queer.
|
|
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.
