(chorus)
lover why you make me wait for you
i've been waiting i don't know what i should do
you bring me down but i want you

aren't we the beautiful ones?
don't we stand taller rule proud and untouchable
am i like you the same as her
that stern girl 
trailing her entourage behind her through the bar

(repeat chorus)

aren't we the gorgeous ones?
no place no people, the race of narcissus we become
all these lovely children
they will break your heart 
leave you on the ground, substance fading
to stand empty and apart


aren't we the beautiful ones?
what would you do to attain the unreachable?
would you give up your secrets and your kingdoms
to walk alongside the strong ones
pretend for awhile you understand their rhythms
and own that stride
but all the while the soot of their feet mark your face
and all the while the soot of their feet mark your face
and all the while

(repeat chorus)
