we were beautiful

Belle & Sebastian

It was black as it could be
There were voices telling me
Walk away from everything
No I wasn't meant to go
Far away from those I know
There some desolate below

We were in the open scene
With a grinded coffee bean
Where the women are obleque
And the boys are paper thin
Racking beers upon their chin
Beoynd the ice I'm looking in

Rise above the present day
Rise above the popular and lonely
I see you the way you are
I see your scar

We were beautiful before this went down
We were beautiful before this game turned upside down
We were beautiful before it got wild
We were beautiful with the sky

I am hanging on the line
I'm on duty all the time
I'm your samaritan on call
I could try my best with you
Lonely emptiness you feel
In the giving I would be alive

We were out to... roots
Nothing on except our boots
We were in to make an underwaste
Wee were settling our scores
We were healing all the sores
We were living out the pleasure that we lost

We were beautiful before this went down
We were beautiful before the years turned upside down
We were beautiful before all the time and space
I would turn around the sun and will turn it to your face

If you listen to the night
We can hear the madmen fight
Here the fights he's making up
But the people all imune
Sleeping silently in the rooms
Growing bodies where they sleep
Making blinds inside their hats
Making laughter a shallow friend

We were beautiful before this went down
We were beautiful before the years turned it upside down
We were beautiful before we got wise
We were beautiful with the sky
We were beautiful before this went down
We were beautiful before the years turned it upside down
We were beautiful before all the time and space
I would turn around the sun and will turn it to your face
