Beautiful Lyrics by Ten Inch Men

Pretty Vultures

1993

Beautiful are hollow smiles
Broken looks and empty vials
Drunken girls with lonely hands
Tired boys in trashy bands
Beautiful to fail again
Try and try and never win
Everything's a long strange dream
Nothing different I have seen
Beautiful's a beaten child
Raging eyes disowned and wild
Unread books that gather dust
To know you can't
And think you must
Beautiful's an empty room
Peeling paint
A hall of doom
It's so nice to walk the street
Say hello by chance we meet
It's all so beautiful to see
Life is filled with tragedy
I don't know why it comforts me
Always standing there
Sadness sittin' in my chair
I don't know why it feels so good
Beautiful's a shot down star
In a wild blown topless car
Alley cat and trash can dog
Making way through morning fog
Beautiful is out of reach
As I walk down an endless beach
Crying birds that once were free
Tear drops fill the seventh sea
It's all so beautiful to see
Life is filled with tragedy
I don't know why it comforts me
Always standing there
Sadness sittin' in my chair
I don't know why it feels so good
Beautiful are hopeless things
Diamonds fallen from their rings
Forgeting everything you know
People planted in a row
Beautiful are hollow smiles
Broken looks and empty vials
It's so nice to walk the street
Say hello by chance we meet
It's all so beautiful to see
Broken chains the mind is free
Beauty lives against the black
Wasted as the world runs
Putting flowers in their guns
I don't know why it feels so good
So beautiful
It's all so beautiful to see
So beautiful
Selfish an beautiful to me
