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

Your diamonds, roses, I need Moses
To cross this sea of loneliness
Part this Red River of pain, oh, oh, oh

And 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 empty apartment and call a best friend who is a queer

Oh 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, of pain
Oh, oh
