Adrienne Pierce

So sorry to hear the peace parade woke you up today
So sorry to hear another hair has turned grey

Play the victim, so I let you
Believe the world is out to get you
Play the victim so well, so we let you
Believe the world is out to get you

[CHORUS:]
And you say, why can't they see
I am beautiful, I am beautiful
And each day, you want to scream
I am beautiful, I am beautiful

So sorry to hear another friend got engaged
Can't stand to see another sad scene you've staged

Play the victim, so I let you
Believe the world is, out to get you
Play the victim so well, so we let you
Believe the world is out to get you

[CHORUS:]
And you say, why can't they see
I am beautiful, I am beautiful
And each day, you want to scream
I am beautiful, I am beautiful

One day I saw you smile
Forgot about yourself for a little while
And you were beautiful, beautiful

[CHORUS]

Golf trips, wine and dine
Stock tips, bottom line
Why suffer when you feel like this?

Side effects, don't you worry
No time, what's the hurry
You're just a swallow away from bliss

Heartbeat, so erratic
Can't sleep, don't you panic
There is a simple remedy

Side effects, room is spinning
Realize, no one's winning
You've gotta get yourself free

It's just the downside of
It's just the downside of
It's just the downside
It's just the downside of love

Pink pill to match the blue
Overkill with something new
They're getting stronger every day

Look now, it's improved
See how it gets used
Always a new act to the play

It's just the downside of
It's just the downside of
It's just the downside
It's just the downside of love

We turn fiction into fact
We do as we please
Turn human frailty into a disease

Swallow this till you can't even feel
Look how far we've drifted
Look how far we've drifted apart

It's just the downside of being uplifted
It's just the downside of a world that's shifting
It's just the downside
It is just the downside of love

It's just the downside of being uplifted
It's just the downside of a world that's shifting
It's just the downside
It is just the downside of love

> Too, too many, they're so,
So many there's too,
Too many, too many of us,
And everyone's hoping,
To be the one spun straw,
Into gold and outshine the sun.
It's fools gold glowing,
Nothing is growing,
Nothing is flowing from these taps,
It's fools gold glowing,
Nothing is flowing,
We're just seagulls pulling at scraps.
Leave, gotta leave today,
Get far away from , far from, far from the madding crowd,
It's turning grey now, gotta leave today now,
For the, for the, black clouds.
No longer hoping to be the long spun straw,
Into gold and outshine the sun.
It's fools gold glowing,
Nothing is growing,
Nothing is flowing from these taps,
It's fools gold glowing,
Nothing is flowing,
We're just seagulls pulling at scraps.
Don't need golden fleece,
Just give me some peace
Gonna learn to see what's in front of me.
I want to give,
I want to give not take,
Everything seems so fake,
Maybe it's just too loud,
Maybe I am just too proud,
Trying to get far, far from the madding crowd.
Can't seem to catch a break,
Everything seems so fake,
Everything seems so fake.
And everyone's hoping to be the one
Spun, straw into gold and outshine the sun.
It's fools gold glowing,
Nothing is growing,
Nothing is flowing.
It's fools gold glowing,
Nothing is growing,
Nothing is flowing from these taps.
It's fools gold glowing,
Nothing is growing,
We're just seagulls pulling at scraps.
Too, too, too. So, so, so.
Too, too, too many.
There's too, too, too. So, so, so.
Too, too, too many, there's too many.

I don't know you, not sure I want to
You're far away, so far, so far
My resistance, it's the distance
I am far away, so far, so far

Just one day, it's o-o-over

One, one perfect day
Let's keep, keep it that way
It probably wouldn't, wouldn't have worked out
Anyway

One, one perfect day
Let's keep, keep it that way
We probably wouldn't have got along, anyway
Anyway

Stand on a star, close eyes, close
Turn around, turn around till you fall down
Stand on a star, close your eyes
Are we getting closer to the ground

Just one day, it's o-o-over

One, one perfect day
Let's keep, keep it that way
It probably wouldn't have worked out
Anyway

One, one perfect day
Let's keep, keep it that way
We probably wouldn't have got along, anyway

I'll keep you still, still I will
I'll keep you still
Like a photograph, like a photograph I will
I will keep you, yeah, I'll keep you still

We talked and on and wondering why
Long until dawn, staring up at the sky
And our mouths they were moving, our minds they were kissing
You smiled and said it is what you had been missing

Oh, oh, over, I'll close my eyes, tell me pretty lies
Oh, I wouldn't speak, no, I won't to say a word
I'll close my eyes, tell me pretty lies
'Cause when I speak the lines, the lines get blurred

One, one perfect day
Let's keep, keep it that way
It probably wouldn't, wouldn't have worked out
