Beauty Left the Room
The sky had a heartache
The truth couldn't wait to slip out
And miss little-black-checkered-pants
Was clutching a new Coach bag
Then Beauty left the room
Beauty left the room
And the smell of America took its place
When beauty left the room
I wanna go home
Back to the house by the river
Live in the time-honored way
Owing no debt but love
When beauty leaves the room
When beauty leaves the room
And the smell of America takes its place
Time again, time again to move
Time again, time again, time again to move
You'll know it when you see it
When you smell it, when you feel it, smells like
Burnt toast and repetition,
Ah the repetition
All alone with a mission
We've got so good at saving face
The sky had a heartache
The truth couldn't wait to slip out
And miss little-black-checkered-pants
Was clutching a new Coach bag
Then Beauty left the room
Beauty left the room
And the smell of America took its place
When beauty left the room
Beauty left the room
You can rise before the morning sun
End the day and not be done
That's the way it is in the work of finding courage
You gotta ask yourself
Hey what's the rush, what's the hurry?
Here I am again
With my pencil and my paper
Listening, for a sign, for a word from my Maker
The sky had a heartache
The truth couldn't wait to slip out
And miss little-black-checkered-pants
Was clutching a new Coach bag.
The truth couldn't wait to slip out
And miss little-black-checkered-pants
Was clutching a new Coach bag
Then Beauty left the room
Beauty left the room
And the smell of America took its place
When beauty left the room
I wanna go home
Back to the house by the river
Live in the time-honored way
Owing no debt but love
When beauty leaves the room
When beauty leaves the room
And the smell of America takes its place
Time again, time again to move
Time again, time again, time again to move
You'll know it when you see it
When you smell it, when you feel it, smells like
Burnt toast and repetition,
Ah the repetition
All alone with a mission
We've got so good at saving face
The sky had a heartache
The truth couldn't wait to slip out
And miss little-black-checkered-pants
Was clutching a new Coach bag
Then Beauty left the room
Beauty left the room
And the smell of America took its place
When beauty left the room
Beauty left the room
You can rise before the morning sun
End the day and not be done
That's the way it is in the work of finding courage
You gotta ask yourself
Hey what's the rush, what's the hurry?
Here I am again
With my pencil and my paper
Listening, for a sign, for a word from my Maker
The sky had a heartache
The truth couldn't wait to slip out
And miss little-black-checkered-pants
Was clutching a new Coach bag.
