lyrics

You're beautiful but you ain't mine
I thought it didn't matter 'cause your beauty's divine
Yes, you're beautiful but I can't live on beauty alone.

You're beautiful and I can look at you all day
and listen to all the pretty things that you say
Yes, you're beautiful but cold as a beautiful stone

I'm picking your emotion crumb after crumb
I'm drinking your potion - poisonous rum
I want you. I approach you, stretching my arm
but when I touch you it's like touching a hologram

Yes, you're beautiful but what good is it to me?
I can't live in a postcard of a house by the sea
You're beautiful, but staring at the sun made me blind

To be with you, baby, was like paradise
innocent and naked we stroll
but I've eaten the apple and opened my eyes
started asking questions and fall

oh, you're beautiful. History's written by your lips.
Oceans dry and mountains crumble at your fingertips
So beautiful
You're beautiful but you are not mine.

(c) Sister Chain
