Foxes - Beauty Queen Lyrics
Why are we so obsessed with cutting skinWhen the real things in our lives can't get in?Marching to the same drumEvery single beat's goneI can hear the dark days comingAnother generationFighting for attentionCan't you see I'm tired of running?There's a house in the forestWhere her days are forgottenBy the lake, she dropped her dreamsAnd now they've sunk to the bottomOh, beauty queenIt's only skin deepIt's only thin sheetsThere's no audienceOh, beauty queenSomething's telling meThat you were never meant to beTrapped in timeWhy are we holding hands like paper chains?Why are we so content to stay the same?Marching to the same drumEvery single beat's goneI can hear the dark days comingAnother generationFighting for attentionCan't you see I'm tired of running?There's a girl I rememberWho was everyone's dreamNow her face has become herIt's the saddest thing you'll ever seeOh, beauty queenIt's only skin deepIt's only thin sheetsThere's no audienceOh, beauty queenSomething's telling meThat you were never meant to beTrapped in timeOh, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, ohThere's a house in the forestWhere her days are forgottenBy the lake she dropped her dreamsNow they've sunk to the bottomOh, oh oh oh oh ohOh, oh oh oh oh ohOh, oh oh oh ohOh, oh oh oh oh ohOh, beauty queenIt's only skin deepIt's only thin sheetsThere's no audienceOh, beauty queenSomething's telling meThat you were never meant to beTrapped in time
