And tells me how well he's walking these miles
So I'm just a tragic figure in the corner over here
But I need a little place in the sun sometimes or I think I'll die
With an empty apartment and a best friend who is queer
If I died he'd hear about it eventually
We're all just diamonds and roses, I need Moses
Who'll sleep it off 'til morning and still not know that we're
With my bills in the mailbox and some checks that won't clear this year
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer
Part this red river of pain, oh
But I'm a tragic figure in the corner over here
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain
And everywhere is somewhere but nowhere is near
Every time I see him he smiles
Everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain
But he never ever asks a single thing about me
Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer
I don't necessarily buy any key to the future or happiness
'Cause everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer
To cross this sea of loneliness
And I'm a tragic figure in the corner over here
