Beauty of the Word Lyrics

My lover wears a dress

Made of love and nothing less

Stitched with tenderness but

She don't care

Standing in the spotlight

With the children of the night

Fighting over ticket stubs

And little scraps of hair

All those vampires on the dance floor

Man they just scream for more and more

Give them just a taste of blood and they will want it all

They've got you living with your back against the wall

You, you should be dancing honey

You, you should be free

They offered you it all but you deferred

I know you're crazy, but you get heard

Oh to live within these rules

Is so absurd

Honey you're just like me

Captured by the beauty of the word

My lover rides the train

Bound for hell and back again

Me I broke down in the fast lane

Were you there?

You know she took the test

But she failed like all the rest

All those French girls they confessed

All her old friends laid her bare

All those vampires on the dance floor

Man they just scream for more and more

Give them just a taste of blood and they will want it all

They've got you living with your back against the wall

You, you should be dancing honey

You, you should be free

They offered you it all but you deferred

I know you're crazy, but you get heard

Oh to live within these rules

Is so absurd

Honey you're just like me

Captured by the beauty of the word

My lover never dreams

She shouts but never screams

She never seems to care

Who loves her
