A Human Named David - Diamond in the Rough

East side feels lonely
West side feels cold
Downtown's empty
And uptown's sold

Streetlights they flicker
Sidewalks they scream
This ain't no 3D movie scene

So I took the last train to the end of the line
I left my dreams down on Coney Island
I wondered if I'd ever be enough
And with a little bit of luck
I'll search deep down to find it
I left my dreams down on Coney Island
Times like these they get a little tough
And with a little bit of luck
I'll find my Diamond In The Rough

Run past the grocery store
On a Saturday night
Well I heard the sounds but I missed the fight

Maybe we should go there girl
And then leave without a trace
Take Stillwell Ave to Outer Space

So I took the last train to the end of the line
I left my heart down on Coney Island
I wondered if I'd ever be enough
And with a little bit of luck
I'll search deep down to find it
I left my heart down on Coney Island
Times like these they get a little tough
And with a little bit of luck I'll find my Diamond in...

And I know
The roads
Ain't paved with fourteen karat gold
And we'll ride
The rails
Down subway cars and platform stairs
And I know
I belong
With people that spend all day long
Searching for that stuff
Wondering if they're good enough
Trying to find themselves a Diamond In The Rough

Give me something to live for baby
Like a car on a wonder wheel
The sky's worth touching if you can feel it
