A Human Named David - Diamond in the Rough Lyrics

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
