Beauty Queen
Beauty Queen falls asleep
You're just fourteen and my dear
What have you seen
Cuddle up to me
I'll help you live your fantasy
And try to be there when you wake
But my promises always seem to lead to mistakes
I try to get
Why why why
And she tries to get
By by by
Everyone around me gets
High high high
And I can't remember the colour of her eyes
In her sleep she cries
For the past and old goodbyes
While in a wakened state preaches no regret
And no hate
She's been looking in every face for
A little happiness a little faith but
All of the ones she finds seem to come
At the wrong time
Just leading her down a path
She don't know where it goes
But she cannot get back
Well I try to get
Why why why
And she tries to get
By by by
Everyone around me gets
High high high
And I can't remember the colour of her eyes
And I can't remember the colour of her eyes
Beauty Queen
Falls asleep
You're just fourteen
And my dear there's so much still to see
Well I try to get
Why why why
Well I try to get by by by
Everyone around me gets
High high high
I can't remember
Well I try to get
Why why why
As we say
Goodbye bye bye
Well she spreads her wings and she flies
'Til I can't see the colour of her eyes
I cannot see the colour of her eyes
