Lyrics Beautiful You - The Waifs

Beautiful You

You’re walking around in a haze
After gambling with your life for hours
Just like you did yesterday
And the years before when we tried to put your chains on
Beautiful You,
You got caught up in a web of trying
Something fun and new
That no longer keeps you high and flying
You gotta change
Change the road you have been taking
Take a look at your face
Your life is broke and your hands are shaking
Beautiful you changed so long ago now we don’t know ya
And you know its true
I’ll keep open the doors that you slam behind ya
If looks could kill
You woulda killed me a thousand times over
But your deadly aim
Was to turn away and not look over your shoulder
You gotta change
Change the road you have been taking
Take a look at your face
Your life is broke and your hands are shaking
Beautiful you
You’re the only one left in the trenches
Beautiful you
lay down your weapons and surrender
Cos you’ve gotta change
Change the road you have been taking
Take a look at your face
Your life is broke and your hands are shaking
In basement rooms where the
Coffee’s bad there mingles a people
who talk about it too
All having shared in the common peril
Beautiful you
Lay down your weapons and surrender
Beautiful you
Lay down your weapons and surrender
