Lyrics
Beauty Science
© Fred Israel
you've gone to school to learn to play along
but you can't go to school to learn right from wrong
o you're so good you study your lessons well
know the right moves to make, what stories to tell
you're just there to suck up and offer your bait
the last time I took a look your fenders were out
your fences were up your timing was off it was too late
(Chorus)
Beauty science couldn't teach you to love
stolen moments are never enough
pretty diamonds couldn't make you a queen
preservation ain't gonna buy you your last dream.
In love you could be taken as a thief
when push comes to shove there's nothing your beneath
and now you're trying' to be somebody else
the cover girl that lives up above the shelf
well you may end up finding more than what you seek
those dancin'shoes are heavy as they lead you down
lead you down lead you down the street
(chorus)
Beauty science......etc
(Bridge)
In times of love..in times of war
there's no telling' who'll break down your door
and it ain't a pretty picture watchin' you beg for more
chameleon eyes in false paradise
buys another free ticket and a pack o lies
(Chorus)
Beauty Science couldn't teach you to love
stolen moments are never enough
pretty diamonds couldn't make you a queen
preservation ain't gonna buy you your last dream.
