I Wish That I Was Beautiful For You |
I wish that I was beautiful for you |
I wish that I inspired tiny fireworks inside the way you do So delicately made |
A prayer left unprayed |
Before the morning sky fades |
Up to blue |
And I wish that I was beautiful for you |
I wish that somehow I could find a pill |
For a quick fix modern tonic that would change me with one swallow I would kill |
Watch folks line up to pay |
Stare at me all day |
But I’d turn them all away |
If that be thy will |
One tiny little innocuous pill |
But a wish is just a pin |
In a swimming pool of needles |
If for one night you need the room |
I wish to be your tomb |
You can lie in me Is it possible I’ve other things you need |
But to be worthy of a single page out of one of those magazines you read |
As glossy as a mirror |
But mirrors never lie |
They’re difficult on the eye |
It’s true |
And I wish that I was beautiful for you |
I dreamed that we were travelling on a bus |
Speeding along an unnamed plain towards somewhere and nowhere there was us Our hands lay useless in our laps |
Like beetles on their backs |
We came to a stretch of road where a fire |
Had burned the edges all along it looked as though the highway wore eyeliner |
You kissed me by surprise |
When I opened my eyes |
You’d turned into some old guy |
I screamed |
But don’t forget of all these things I’ve only dreamed |
If for one night you need the room |
I will be your tomb |
You can lie in me |
