BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE
(Music and Lyrics by Matthew Causey)
Any day now, it will be revealed,
All the reasons we cry
All the ways that we die
All the mysteries revealed
But any any chance of this simple epiphany
It’s a laugh, it’s a joke
Its just a wink and poke
Just a sad fantasy
Any time now, I firmly believe
All the pain will let go
All the suffering closed
All the ignorance relieved
But I know none of this can possibly be true
It’s just a wink and a poke
It’s just mirrors and smoke
Just a lie you can’t undo
All you weak and beautiful people
Who have given up with such sweet grace
What you need is someone to take hold of you
And gently with love
Gently with love
Gently with love
Give your life back to you*
Any day now, I firmly believe
All the reasons we cry
All the ways that we die
All the mysteries revealed
But any any chance of this simple epiphany
It’s a laugh, it’s a joke
Its just a wink and poke
Just a sad fantasy
All you weak and beautiful people
Who have given up with such sweet grace
What you need is someone to take hold of you
And gently with love
Gently with love
Gently with love
Give your life back to you
All you weak and beautiful people
Who have given up with such sweet grace
What you need is someone to take hold of you
And gently with love
Gently with love
Gently with love
Give your life back to you
