If I was beautiful like you Oh the things I would do Those not so blessed would be crying out murder And I'd just laugh And get away with it too Like you do
If I was beautiful like you I would never be at fault I'd walk in the rain between the raindrops bringing traffic to a halt
But that will never be That will never, never be 'Cause I'm not beautiful like you I'm beautiful like me
If I was beautiful like you I'd be quick to assume They'd do anything to please me, and why not? I see their reaction when you walk into the room.
Outside America Everybody's just waking up Drinking coffee from a paper cup To the sound of the radio
And there's a broke town girl In the parking lot Shaking off her dress with everything she's got Last night she started dancing and she couldn't stop Daylight came and it broke her heart
She's been up all night Dream so big In a town where dreams don't bit
Come on now people it's all we got We feel it in our hearts for sure Like a song that's been playing for all our lives We know it's right We heard it on the radio
Dire straits and dirty consequences An invitation to your personal disaster It's a point break Another guilty conscience And I won't stop you til you get just what you're after
I'm taking you down with me I'm taking you down with me Til you
Can't sleep, Can't breathe You met your enemy Can't sleep. Can't breathe Won't get no peace with me
You tried to tempt fate, be careful what you wish I'll take you deeper and strip you of salvation It's a crusade to bring you to your knees It's what you wanted, your last manipulation
I'm taking you down with me I'm taking you down with me Til you
Can't sleep. Can't breathe You met your enemy Can't sleep. Can't breathe Won't get no peace with me
The lower you go the less that you'll know You're sinking to the bottom now You're losing control The lower you go You're sinking to the bottom now
Someone plugged you in And sadly they clipped your wings Now you can't fly away electric bird Yeah someone took your tweet One day they fed you that bad seed You can't fly away electric bird
Got to set you free, you were blinded by deceit You can't fly away electric bird So now this rooms all staged While you're stuck there in that cage You can't fly away electric bird
Well you're art, you fell into this part You play the victim perfectly holding your beating heart You used to be so smart You fluttered round the yard making your magic
One day you see a strange little girl look at you One day you see a strange little girl feeling blue She'd run to the town one day Leaving home and her country fair Just beware when you're there Strange little girl
She didn't know how to live in a town that was rough It didn't take long before she knew she'd had enough Walking home in her wrapped up world She survived but she's feeling old Because she found all things cold
Strange little girl Where are you going? Strange little girl Where are you going? Strange little girl You really should You really should be going
And you can tell From the full-body cast That you're sorry that you asked Though you did everything you could (like any decent person would) But I might be catching so don't touch You'll start believing you're immune to gravity and stuff Don't get me wet Because the bandages will all come off
And you can tell From the smoke at the stake That the current state is critical Well it is the little things, for instance In the time it takes to break it she can make up ten excuses Please excuse her for the day, it's just the way the medication makes her
I don't necessarily believe there is a cure for this So I might join your century but only as a doubtful guest I was too precarious removed as a Caesarian Behold the world's worst accident I am the girl anachronism!
Hey brother, do you still believe in one another? Hey sister, do you still believe in love I wonder? Oh if the sky comes falling down, for you, there’s nothing in this world I wouldn't do
What if I'm far from home? Oh brother I will hear you call What if I lose it all? Oh sister I will help you out! Oh if the sky comes falling down, for you There’s nothing in this world I wouldn't do
Under investigation lies a bitter heart Let the poison sink it, let it leave its mark There used to be a likeness, used to be a spark Broken communication, let it go too far
Come closer Deep down You might like what I found
I am not what I've done (what I've become) The smoking gun (can't fight these bad intentions) I am not what I've done (what I've become) The smoking gun (can't fight these bad intentions)
I thought I was the victim, I played it well sifting through the records, trying to find myself I tried to be salvation, tried to make it change Ooh, but I've come too far to look the other way
Just pull the trigger, I'll take the pain Can't fight these bad intentions!
When I was eight I was sure I was growing nerves Like steel in my palm Make a map of what you see Direct pain effectively I was eight I was sure I was growing pains Like lead in my feet Then I was four plus a ten I was swinging fists Like nails in a board Pull your hands inside of you Six years until I'll be through I was four plus a ten I was swinging back Like a race to be sure SOS to my mother Take the hinges off the door
Oh, oh sugar spell it out like Like oh, oh sugar spell it out like Like oh, oh sugar spell it out like Oh Like O, like H In your gut
Riding on backs of palominos Primed for an attack It's as good As good as it gets With girl disappearing What on earth's occurring? 'cause she's right in front of me
A girl disappearing To some secret prison Behind her eyes she whispers "Big surprise there was No protection by this urban light So I'm running to A constellation Where they can still see you"
Envy can spread Herself so thinly She slipped in Before I could notice it
There's a call on the phone You don't even recognize the number, It's an old episode, Of trying to put the lightning on the monster, Of the life you have led, That is always a mess Are you dreaming of death? Are there ghosts in your chest? Are you always so restless? Yes you are Is that hard?
Hold on to your heart Hold it high above flood waters Hold on to your heart Never let nobody drag it under Hold on to your heart Even when your body's bitter Hold on to your heart Never let nobody take it over Ever take it over Ever take it over from you
Me - me – me – me – me That's all you ever talk about Me - me –me – me – me Sick of when you scream and shout Me - me – me – me – me So baby go and run your mouth R- r - r run your mouth I - I - I - I – I I try and show you that I'm there I - I - I - I – I I end up ripping out my hair Why I - I - I - I – I Do I even wanna care W – w – w wanna care Wanna care care
I can't believe that this is what it's come to I've held it in, but it's time you know the truth Excuse my rude but I really hate you I never thought I'd be the one To fall for it and let you in To mess it up once again I'm over it so here it is Excuse my rude but I really fuckin' hate you
Look at all these losers you find them everywhere they're fucked up and annoying but somehow you seem to care It's easier to laugh but something makes you stick around you can't watch from above and keep your ten toes in the sand
You wish that you were special I'm just like you
Close your eyes that'll be the day you'll find those lies Fold your ears that'll be the day that you will hear that'll be the day you get back home
It's lonely to be strange and you would never tell that you're one of these itches you know it much too well losers are your weakness they will always touch your heart you're touching me as well 'cause I have always been a part
Well, I'm a wreck I'm a mess I'm a spot on the pavement I'm a number on your wall I make you so tired And I don't think I like this game no more It goes around and round and round I'll tell you one more time Yeah, one more time
And now you crossed that line You can't come back Tell me how does it feel now It's too late too much to forget about Can't stop now How does it feel now I'm only asking because I wanna know How you wanna feel
Blood loss in a bathroom stall Southern girl with a scarlet drawl Wave good-bye to ma and pa 'cause With the birds I'll share With the birds I'll share This lonely view With the birds I'll share This lonely view
Soft spoken with a broken jaw Step outside but not to brawl Autumn's sweet we call it fall I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and With the birds I'll share This lonely view
She told me not to step on the cracks I told her not to fuss and relax Well, her pretty little face stopped me in my tracks But now she sleeps with one eye open That's the price she paid
I took a knife and cut out her eye I took it home and watched it wither and die Well, she's lucky that I didn't slip her a smile That's why she sleeps with one eye open That's the price she paid
I said, hey, girl with one eye Get your filthy fingers out of my pie I said, hey, girl with one eye I'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry
Send us a blindfold, send us a blade Tell the survivors help is on the way I was a blindfold, never complained All the survivors singing in the rain I was the one with the world at my feet Got us a battle, leave it up to me
Find us a trap door, find us a plane Tell the survivors help is on the way I was a blindfold, never complained All the survivors singing in the rain I was the one with the world at my feet Got us a battle, leave it up to me
What it is and where it stops nobody knows You gave me a life I never chose I wanna leave but the world won't let me go Wanna leave but the world won't let me go
Welcome to your life There's no turning back Even while we sleep We will find you
Acting on your best behavior Turn your back on Mother Nature Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own design It's my own remorse Help me to decide Help me make the most of freedom And of pleasure Nothing ever lasts forever Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down When they do, I'll be right behind you So glad we've almost made it So sad we had to fade it Everybody wants to rule the world
Lately, nothing passes by me And every hand is holding me down And praise is just an unfamiliar sound to me
Just close the door It's all coming back to me Be still, my heart 'Cause it's all coming back Just close the door It's all coming back to me Be still, my heart 'Cause it's all coming back
All this meaningless direction Feels like it pulls me away It's hard to just forget What they say to me
Today I will feel something other than regret Pass me a glass and half-smoked cigarette I've damn near got no dignity left
I will not be a victim of romance I will not be a victim of circumstance Chance or romance or circumstance, or any man Who could get his dirty little hands on me
When we were in love (if we were) When we were in love I was an eagle And you were a dove And I rose above you and preyed
This is the only way I know myself From here to here, And sometimes from here to here. The only way I see myself When I'm a good girl from there to there.
Build me a fountain all in my honor, A reason to keep on, a reason to follow. This is the only way I know myself, The all important there to there.
But they're just notes and they mean nothing, And they will ring as long as I hold them. But they're just notes and they mean nothing.
Put me next to another; They've got gadgets and gizmos, All I have is a torso. A box with a pipe and shutter. It heaves and swells, It sighs and it yells.
See me run from the swiftest of melodies. See me run from the fever of hammers and cables.
I find it looks the same, but everything has changed I find remembering gets harder every day Sometimes, I still believe who I pretend to be Sometimes, the little thing's exactly how it seems Exactly how it seems
I see the color of your eyes has turned to gray I feel the wind is growing colder every day Sometimes, I open up the walls and disappear Sometimes, the crashing of the waves is all I hear
Ocean, oh, help me find a way Ocean, oh, wash us all away
I know that everything we did will come around I take the thought of you and burn it to the ground Sometimes, I'm waiting for this ice age to arrive Sometimes, I hate the me that's keeping me alive
