Soft Cell - Little Rough Rhinestone LYRICS

Little rough rhinestone

Where will your love go today?

Sometimes you think

You had none to start with anyway



You will lose the deep pools

And the blues will cloud up

Your frightened little eyes

And the cold comes to claim you inside



You sit writing letters to imaginary friends

That you left behind in your mind

The deep dark red doorways

Call to a limbo of loneliness

Where a million rhinestones sit and cry



I never knew sorrow

Could hit me this way

I once had a friend

But he moved away

And even my mother

When she turned on me

Couldn't put emotion like this in me



Fist into glass into head (someone else's head)

They beat you up so badly

That your eyes

Show the look of the nearly dead

The wagon will come and scoop up

What's left of the sorry debris

And you'll take the place

Of a hundred other little Johnny's

That went the very same way



I never knew sorrow

Could hit me this way

I once had a friend

But he moved away

And even my mother

When she turned on me

Couldn't put emotion

Like this in me



And screaming out loud

He ran crashing through the crowd

He ran crashing through the crowd

He ran crashing through the crowd

Screaming

God if you're up there

I need you

Where are you?

I need you

Where are you?

I need you....

Where are you?

When I need you?
