I Wish That I Was Beautiful For You 歌词

I wish that I was beautiful for you I wish that I inspired tiny fireworks inside the way you do So delicately made A prayer left unprayed Before the morning sky fades Up to blue And I wish that I was beautiful for you I wish that somehow I could find a pill For a quick fix modern tonic that would change me with one swallow I would kill Watch folks line up to pay Stare at me all day But I'd turn them all away If that be thy will One tiny little innocuous pill But a wish is just a pin In a swimming pool of needles If for one night you need the room I wish to be your tomb You can lie in me Is it possible I've other things you need But to be worthy of a single page out of one of those magazines you read As glossy as a mirror But mirrors never lie They're difficult on the eye It's true And I wish that I was beautiful for you I dreamed that we were travelling on a bus Speeding along an unnamed plain towards somewhere and nowhere there was us Our hands lay useless in our laps Like beetles on their backs We came to a stretch of road where a fire Had burned the edges all along it looked as though the highway wore eyeliner You kissed me by surprise When I opened my eyes You'd turned into some old guy I screamed But don't forget of all these things I've only dreamed If for one night you need the room I will be your tomb You can lie in me
