You’re the Beautiful One (demo) Songtext
von The Posies

There′s no kiss, no kiss I'd trade for you
There′s no kiss, no disciple I wouldn't betray for you
You're the beautiful one
Of course you knew
And the wind, it blew smoke circles around your eyes

I can′t teach you
I can′t tell you
I can't know you
But I want to
I can′t sense you
I can't move you
I can′t kill you
I can't stop you
There′s no tailor making a four hundred dollar disguise (not this time)
Just an unhappy wind blowin' smoke in your eyes


There's no trust big enough for this room
And you know the certainty will be your doom
You′re the beautiful one
You can take that home at night
Turn your body to the sun
And soak up what you can this life, (this life), this life

There′s no backspace
There's no comma
There′s no hyphen
There's no ribbon
There′s no tab skips to the place where it writes out:
"All is forgiven"
There's no accusation that comes as a big surprise (not this time)
Just an unhappy tire throwin′ dirt in my eyes

(Instrumental bit)

Funny how you can cure yourself
But what made you sick's still there
Funny how you can detach yourself when you wanna show you care


(Overlapping vocal parts for the next few lines)
You're the beautiful one
You′re the beautiful one
You′re the one
You're the one
You′re the one
You're the one
You′re so far gone a distant planet is picking up your goodbyes on TV
What's so beautiful about you is you didn′t have to explain it to me
