BEAUTIFUL WAY Sign in or register

 
The searchlights on the skyline
Just looking for a friend
Who's gonna love my baby
When she's gone around the bend
Egyptian bells are ringing
When it's her birthday
Sweet nothing I'm talking about you
There's a hurricane blowing your way

Such a beautiful way to break your heart
Such a beautiful way to break my heart
There's someone calling your name
It's driving you insane

You were wearing that stained raincoat
And your umbrella was a tangled mess
You were washed up on the glittering shoals
Looking for another crime to confess
You bribed yourself out of a place in the sun
But you had some change to spare
So you said you wanna spend it on me
And shook the blues out of your hair

Such a beautiful way to break your heart
Such a beautiful way to break my heart
There's someone calling your name
You're gonna miss that train

Such a beautiful way to break your heart
Such a beautiful way to break my heart
There's someone calling your name
It's driving you insane

This is kind of a
This is kind of a folky folk rock song
That's why I brought out the machine of destruction for it


The searchlights on the skyline
Just looking for a friend
Who's gonna love my baby

Egyptian bells are ringing
When it's her birthday
Sweet nothing I'm talking about you
There's a hurricane blowing your way

Such a beautiful way to break your heart
Such a beautiful way to break my heart
Calling your name
It's driving you insane

And shook the blues out of your hair

Such a beautiful way to break your heart
Such a beautiful way to break your heart
Someone calling your name
It's driving you insane

Such a beautiful way to break your heart
Such a beautiful way to break my heart
Calling your name
It's driving you insane
