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 will die

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

Everytime 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

Diamonds, roses, I need Moses

To cross this sea of loneliness, Part this red river of pain

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 an empty apartment and call a best friend who is a 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
