The World Is Stone Lyrics - Cyndi Lauper

Stone, the world is stone 

It's no trick of the light, it's hard on the soul 

Stone, the world is stone, cold to the touch 

And hard on the soul in the gray of the streets 

In the neon unknown, I look for a sign 

That I'm not on my own, that I'm not here alone 

As the still of the night and the choke of the air 

And the winners' delight and the losers' despair 

Closes in left and right, I would love not to care 

Stone, the world is stone from a faraway look 

Without stars in my eyes through the halls of the rich 

And the flats of the poor wherever I go 

There's no warmth anymore 

There's no love anymore 

So I turn on my heels, I'm declining the fall 

I've had all I can take with my back to the wall 

Tell the world I'm not in, I'm not taking the call 

Stone, the world is stone but I saw it once 

With the stars in my eyes when each color rang out 

In a thunderous chrome, it's no trick of the light 

I can't find my way home in a world of stone
