Beauty & Doom Lyrics

Hey Johnny,

I’m sorry,

I’ll never forget ya,

We’ll make it to Petra someday,

We’ll find a way,

I’ll ask the mystics,

To cook us a quick fix,

And we can float away,

Cause hey - between the sun and the moon,

All I’ve found is beauty and doom.

Princesses,

And priests,

Mad professors who stole the West from the East,

When will we learn,

That no degree of bravery,

Will ever slay the beast?

At least when all that treasure is strewn,

We will know,

Our beauty from doom.

When I crawl into the sea,

Backwards through my memory,

From death to birth,

Smiles of Earth shine on and on and on and on

And over me,

Granddaddy!

I’m happy!

Killed a dragon,

And smashed my wagon to pieces,

Now our lease is up,

It’s time to start again,

And we can be young men,

And we’ll be having fun,

Now come on,

You go and I’ll follow soon,

Once I’m done with beauty and doom.
