lyrics

How tortured are the beautiful
By all they cannot be,
For tho we eat them with our eyes
They starve on what we see,
They thrill not in their livening glance,
Their glory brings them grief,
And tho they find their splendor dull,
O how I long to be beautiful.

In spring they saunter thru the park
Their pollen flesh full flush,
And thru their pearly glamour gates
All sentience strives to rush,
Yet in their sacred city self
The law of doubt ensures
Their every moment miserable.
O how I long to be beautiful!

They congregate in giggling groups
And greet with kissing cheeks.
They stroke each other’s wonder forms,
Share mutual bliss extreme.
And tho they never sleep alone
In lonely, lurid dreams
They moan distress incurable.
O how I long to be beautiful!

When two exquisite beauty things
Sit splashing in the club,
You take their sparkling, juicy joy
For most amazing love,
But beauty is to be enjoyed
By those who have it not,
And though their love’s impossible,
O how I long to be beautiful!

Performing what the world yearns
They stand before the mirror,
And you might think they there perceive
The bounty you revere
But back at them the ugly glass
Shines empty horrid doom,
Their being steeped in ridicule.
O how I long to be beautiful.
