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
Yeah, 'cause everywhere is somewhere, and nowhere is near
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer
So, I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here
And I go home to an empty apartment
And call my best friend who's a queer
Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
To cross this sea of loneliness
And part this red river of pain, oh, yeah
Every time I see him, he smiles
He tells me how well he's been 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
Yeah, to cross this sea of loneliness
And part this red river of pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause 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
And I go home to an empty apartment
And call my best friend who's a queer
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
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
Yeah, 'cause everywhere is somewhere, and nowhere is near
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer
So, I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here
And I go home to an empty apartment
And call my best friend who's a queer
Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
To cross this sea of loneliness
And part this red river of pain, oh, yeah
Every time I see him, he smiles
He tells me how well he's been 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
Yeah, to cross this sea of loneliness
And part this red river of pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause 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
And I go home to an empty apartment
And call my best friend who's a queer
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
