Moses

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'll die And everywhere is somewhere but nowhere is near Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer But I'm a 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 tells me how well he's walking these miles But he never ever asks a single thing about me If I died he'd hear about it eventually Diamonds, roses, I need Moses To cross this sea of loneliness Part this red river of pain, oh 'Cause everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer And I'm a tragic figure in the corner over here With my bills in the mailbox and some checks that won't clear this year Everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer So I'm just a tragic figure in the corner over here Who'll sleep it off 'til morning and still not know that we're We're all just diamonds and 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
