Beautiful

Lyrics

[Intro: Joelistics] They say he lives alone He had a wife, but that was long ago The town drunk; he always talks to himself He says it's her, and who are we to know? [Verse 1: Joelistics, Count Bounce] In the room down the hall on the second floor Above the counter in the pub at the edge of town Still living in his memory Obsessed with the act of remembering The only one with a key into the cold room He replays the scene and she's there with him now Standing drunk like a leper on the threshold Broke down, staring at the emptiness and he says [Chorus: Joelistics & Count Bounce] Your beautiful, your beautiful Your beautiful grotesque love Your beautiful, your beautiful Your beautiful grotesque love [Instrumental Break] [Bridge: Joelistics] They say he couldn't live with himself Blood on his hands, but that was long ago He found his love lying silent and still In room four, that's how the story goes [Verse 2: Joelistics, Count Bounce] And now he comes back every night to drink there The same place long ago where she was found Still air crackling Cold feeling back again He unlocks the door, but never goes in A woman's face in the window stares him down A shiver runs up the back of his neck But he won't cross the line of the dead When he says [Chorus: Joelistics & Count Bounce] Your beautiful, your beautiful Your beautiful grotesque love Your beautiful, your beautiful Your beautiful grotesque love [Bridge: Count Bounce] You visit me in darkness Every night I find you Deliver me from torment No light will guide you I wish that there was some way To bring you back beside me I wish that there was some way, some way, some way, ay, ay, ay [Chorus: Joelistics & Count Bounce] Your beautiful, your beautiful Your beautiful grotesque love Your beautiful, your beautiful Your beautiful grotesque love Your beautiful, your beautiful Your beautiful grotesque love Your beautiful, your beautiful Your beautiful grotesque love
