Beauty

Paddy Gibney


I saw her face on a late night TV screen 
I saw her face on the cover of a magazine 
My destination, my thought's unclean 
She must have been some kind of beauty queen 

That kind of beauty 
That kind of beauty makes me sad 
That kind of beauty 
That kind of beauty makes me bad 
I close my eyes and drift into fantasy 
Till she is lying right there next to me 
So suddenly real, I see her vanity 
She's not the girl I thought she'd be 

That kind of beauty 
Her kind of beauty makes me sad 
That kind of beauty 
I realize drives me mad. Yeah 

Rock n Roll it stole my soul 
When I realized that music sets me free 
Oh how it sets me free 
Where my reality is fantasy 
Pain don't mean that much to me 
Because beauty, that beauty 
Tears the heart from me 

My little problem makes life so tough 
Too many people have called my bluff 
Pretty soon I'll run out of luck 
I'm off home to you my love 
I've had enough 

That kind of beauty, your kind of beauty 
Makes me sad 
That kind of beauty, I realize 
I've often had, and it drives me mad 
Makes me sad, oh so bad 
Now I'm bad
