Beautiful Way

Beck · Midnite Vultures [1999]

Searchlights on the skyline

Just looking for a friend

Who's gonna love my baby

When she's gone around the bend

Egyptian bells are ringing

When it's her birthday

Sweet nothin', I'm talking about you

There's a hurricane blowing your way



Oooooh such a beautiful way

To break your heart

Oooooh such a beautiful way

To break my heart

There's someone calling your name

It's driving you insane



You were wearing that stained raincoat

And your umbrella was a tangled mess

You were washed up on the glittering shores

Looking for another crime to confess

You bribed yourself

Out of a place in the sun

But you had some change to spare

So you said you wanna spend it on me

And shook the blues out of your hair



Oooooh such a beautiful way

To break your heart

Oooooh such a beautiful way

To break my heart

There's someone calling your name

You're gonna miss that train

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Oooooh such a beautiful way

To break your heart

Oooooh such a beautiful way

To break my heart

There's someone calling your name

It's driving you insane
