The world is stone / Cyndi Lauper <br />********************************* <br /><br />Stone, the world is stone <br />It's no trick of the light <br />It's hard on the soul <br /><br />Stone, the world is stone <br />Cold to the touch <br />And hard on the soul <br />In the grey of the streets <br />In the neon unknown <br />I look for a sign <br />That I'm not on my own <br />That I'm not here alone <br /><br />As the still of the night <br />And the choke of the air <br />And the winner's delight <br />And the loser's despair <br />Closes in left and right <br />I would love not to care <br /><br />Stone, the world is stone <br />from a faraway look <br />Without stars in my eyes <br />Through the halls of the rich <br />And the flats of the poor <br />Wherever I go <br />There's no warmth anymore <br />There's no love anymore <br /><br />So I turn on my heels <br />I'm declining the fall <br />I've had all I can take <br />With my back to the wall <br />Tell the world I'm not in <br />I'm not taking the call <br /><br />Stone, the world is stone <br />But I saw it once <br />With the stars in my eyes <br />When each colour rang out <br />In a thunderous chrome <br />It's no trick of the light <br />I can't find my way home <br />In a world of stone
