Beautiful You - The Waifs

You’re walking around in a haze

After gambling with your life for hours

Just like you did yesterday

And the years before when we tried to put your chains on

Beautiful You,

You got caught up in a web of trying

Something fun and new

That no longer keeps you high and flying

You gotta change

Change the road you have been taking

Take a look at your face

Your life is broke and your hands are shaking

Beautiful you changed so long ago now we don’t know ya

And you know its true

I’ll keep open the doors that you slam behind ya

If looks could kill

You woulda killed me a thousand times over

But your deadly aim

Was to turn away and not look over your shoulder

You gotta change

Change the road you have been taking

Take a look at your face

Your life is broke and your hands are shaking

Beautiful you

You’re the only one left in the trenches

Beautiful you

lay down your weapons and surrender

Cos you’ve gotta change

Change the road you have been taking

Take a look at your face

Your life is broke and your hands are shaking

In basement rooms where the

Coffee’s bad there mingles a people

who talk about it too

All having shared in the common peril

Beautiful you

Lay down your weapons and surrender

Beautiful you

Lay down your weapons and surrender
