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
