Letra de Death By Beauty

Pretty girls ask me directions
And pass me
Looking through me as if I’m not there
Their necks are so long
They glide by like swans
If I get closer
They take off into the air
Oh what a site to see
Pretty girls like to be admired wherever they go
All I do is look up to them
Thank my good luck for them
One more drink with the boys
And I’m heading home
Lonely and lovely as stars
Shaken and stirred
Constellations gather at the bar
Our waitress calls me Sir
And smiles as if she knew me
Serving up death by beauty
Shoulders are bare
Perfume fills the air
When the pretty girls gather by the road side
If you’ve made a little money
And you can say something funny
They offer up their hearts like flowers offer things that fly
I had a throne I slept there alone
What cared I for flowers and their needs?
Selfish and unkind
We all learn in time:
If you give away your heart
Be prepared to bleed
You came to me wearing nothing but a song
I liked what I heard
I’m nobody’s fool
Well, at least not for long
I saw the blade I knew what could occur
But my heart overruled me
And it chose death by beauty
Tonight I’m your host
Raise your glass and let’s toast
To all the things we hope we will do
Forgive me my shaking
It took time to awaken
But I can see the marks that beauty made on you
When you walk how you hold your head up high
There’s nothing above you
The world has become one big sky
To love and be loved, you
Heard the call of duty
And answered with death by beauty
