But You're So Beautiful
you know why the lemmings fly from high terrain
you know why most flowers don't bloom
you know why sad children stay out in the rain
sitting in your lonely room
but you're so beautiful, you make me want to cry
and you're so sad and hopeless
waiting 'round to die
you may be cruel and unkind in every way
thinking up ways to hurt me all night and day
but you're so beautiful
one day you burned down all your dreams
with one lit match and gasoline
how could you be so old and lonely at 17?
one day your lost your only friend
to Jesus Christ and His henchmen
where did you learn to have so many accidents?
you only go out when it rains
you're impossible to entertain
you collect songs about crime
I'm gonna kidnap you in the summertime
you know why most flowers don't bloom
you know why sad children stay out in the rain
sitting in your lonely room
but you're so beautiful, you make me want to cry
and you're so sad and hopeless
waiting 'round to die
you may be cruel and unkind in every way
thinking up ways to hurt me all night and day
but you're so beautiful
one day you burned down all your dreams
with one lit match and gasoline
how could you be so old and lonely at 17?
one day your lost your only friend
to Jesus Christ and His henchmen
where did you learn to have so many accidents?
you only go out when it rains
you're impossible to entertain
you collect songs about crime
I'm gonna kidnap you in the summertime
