Lyrics

BEAUTY HANGS HER HOPES
ON SILVER STRINGS
WITH LITTLE WINGS
SHE LETS THEM FLY AWAY

SHE MAKES HER JEWELRY
OUT OF ROCKS AND STRINGS
AND SHINING THINGS
THAT PEOPLE THROW AWAY

AND THEY'VE BEEN HAVING WAR
SINCE GOD WAS BORN
AND STARS WERE NAMED
AND PEOPLE FOUND SOMEONE TO BLAME
AND THEY WERE HANGING MEN
ON WOODEN CROSSES
BEFORE CHRIST CAME
AND TRIED TO TAKE OUR SINS AWAY
OH AWAY

BEAUTY SMILES BACK
THROUGH SILVER WINDOWS
FRAMED IN GOLD
SHE NEVER HAS THAT MUCH TO SAY

SHE SITS AND LISTENS
AS THEY TALK TO HER
SO QUIETLY
SHE CAN'T TAKE AWAY THEIR PAIN

CUZ THEY BEEN FIGHTING WAR
SINCE GOD WAS BORN
AND STARS WERE NAMED
CUZ PEOPLE NEED SOMEONE TO BLAME
AND THEY WERE HANGING MEN
ON WOODEN CROSSES
WHEN CHRIST WAS KILLED
TRYIN' TO TAKE OUR SINS AWAY
OH AWAY

BEAUTY LOOKS OUT TO THE WORLD
THROUGH LAUGHING FACES
AND SHE'S HARDLY EVER SEEN

SHE TURNS UP MISSING, TURNS UP FOUND
IN ALL THE ODDEST PLACES
AND CANT REMEMBER WHERE SHES BEEN

AND THEY'VE BEEN HAVING WAR
SINCE GOD WAS BORN
AND STARS WERE NAMED
AND PEOPLE HAVE THEMSELVES TO BLAME
AND THEY'VE BEEN HANGING MEN
ON WOODEN CROSSES
SINCE CHRIST WAS KILLED
TRYING TO TAKE OUR SINS AWAY.
OH AWAY?
OH AWAY?
