Lyrics:

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 But 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 Every time I see him he smiles And tells me how well he is 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 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
