Lyrics Beautiful Is (As Beautiful Does) - The Blue Aeroplanes

Beautiful Is (As Beautiful Does)

Hey you is something I have to say
I see as close and golden
And love is something I have to say
Is in the eyes of the beholden
I stand here and you stand there
I can hear a siren in the air
& beautiful is
As beautiful does
& beautiful does
Everything
Here’s a gift, it was given to me
I carry it round continually
A flower, a record, a counterfoil
Three tons of petals make a litre of oil
& beautiful is
As beautiful does
& beautiful does
Everything
Looking round for a circus girl
With a black and white halo
Found in a foreign hotel
Looking for a kid of her own
Foundered in the spin of a different view
A different gravity, an independent state
What have you lived through?
What do you want to recreate?
A book of worlds
Or a book of lies?
The world is an oval
With oval eyes
Beauty is everything, beauty is love
Beauty can die outside a nightclub
Yeah suki, suki, what d’you want me to do?
Float downstream like a phoenix do
& beautiful is
As beautiful does
& beautiful does
Everything
Love always
Wears my shirt or did
Love always
Waits till home to phone
Love always
Likes to wait alone
Love always
Learns a new desire
Love always
Is a little liar
Love always
Bites here lip to write
Love always
Gets more hip and departs
Uh-huh
