Beautiful People
I said beautiful people
They've got a Robert Palmer T-shirt in their travel bag
Beautiful people
They've got a price upon their head
I said beautiful people
Have got some friends who just flew in from LA
Beautiful people
They haven't really much to say
I said people, they just want to take you
People, they just want to make you
People, they just want to break you down
They just want to take you down
I said beautiful people
They ride 200 dollar pushbikes in the park
Beautiful people
They won't admit it but they make love in the dark
Beautiful people
Snap-frozen potted palms in the corner of the sitting room
Beautiful people
The Art Deco sonic boom
I said people, they just want to take you
People, they just want to make you
People, they just want to break you down
Want to take you down, yes, they know
They're gonna get you
I said a-beautiful people
You know they're going out tonight to get their Bombay rocks off
Beautiful people
They've got a Kerouac condition, got a cocaine cough
Beautiful people
Studio 54 is the only place to dance
Beautiful people
You know the garden's full of furniture, the house is full of plants
People, they just want to take you
People, they just want to make you
People, they just want to break you down
Want to take you
People, they just want to make you
People, they just want to take you
People, they just want to break you down
They just want to take you down
They've got a Robert Palmer T-shirt in their travel bag
Beautiful people
They've got a price upon their head
I said beautiful people
Have got some friends who just flew in from LA
Beautiful people
They haven't really much to say
I said people, they just want to take you
People, they just want to make you
People, they just want to break you down
They just want to take you down
I said beautiful people
They ride 200 dollar pushbikes in the park
Beautiful people
They won't admit it but they make love in the dark
Beautiful people
Snap-frozen potted palms in the corner of the sitting room
Beautiful people
The Art Deco sonic boom
I said people, they just want to take you
People, they just want to make you
People, they just want to break you down
Want to take you down, yes, they know
They're gonna get you
I said a-beautiful people
You know they're going out tonight to get their Bombay rocks off
Beautiful people
They've got a Kerouac condition, got a cocaine cough
Beautiful people
Studio 54 is the only place to dance
Beautiful people
You know the garden's full of furniture, the house is full of plants
People, they just want to take you
People, they just want to make you
People, they just want to break you down
Want to take you
People, they just want to make you
People, they just want to take you
People, they just want to break you down
They just want to take you down
