The World Is Stone lyrics
by Cyndi Lauper



Stone, the world is stoneIt's no trick of the lightIt's hard on the soulStone, the world is stoneCold to the touchAnd hard on the soulIn the grey of the streetsIn the neon unknownI look for a signThat I'm not on my ownThat I'm not here aloneAs the still of the nightAnd the choke of the airAnd the winners' delightAnd the losers' despairCloses in left and rightI would love not to careStone, the world is stone>From a faraway lookWithout stars in my eyesThrough the halls of the richAnd the flats of the poorWherever I goThere's no warmth anymoreThere's no love anymoreSo I turn on my heelsI'm declining the fallI've had all I can takeWith my back to the wallTell the world I'm not inI'm not taking the callStone, the world is stoneBut I saw it onceWith the stars in my eyesWhen each colour rang outIn a thunderous chromeIt's no trick of the lightI can't find my way homeIn a world of stone
