Lyrics The World Is Stone - 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 winner's delight
And the loser's despair
Closes in left and right
I would love not to care

Stone, the world is stone
From the far away 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
(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
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (stone)
In a world of stone
Can't find it, I can't find it, I can't find my way home (stone)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (stone)
The world is stone
Can we, can we, can we, can we, oh (in a world, in a world)

Ooh-ooh-ooh (in a world of stone, my world is stone)
Stone (ooh-ooh-ooh) (the world is stone)
(In a world, in a world, in a world of stone) ooh-oh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Hey-yeah
