Lyrics
? Beautiful But Strange? Lyrics And Music by Raymond Figueroa
You tell me there?s talking in my sleep
I wonder which one of those promises I can ever keep
In a balance so delicate yet we climb
To a place the sun shines, peace of mind, we fly?.
You sowed the fresh wound in my heart
I beheld you in a dream, my fantasy and there you are
My little lonely mistress will you mind
If I grow old in your arms and lose my mind
Chorus - My Life is beautiful but strange - ( not just where you are )
Am I older just the same - ( can you change the moon and stars )
I could see the truth if I only knew
Why life is beautiful but strange
I?ve got a friend in green who?s keen on triviality
He won?t keep a date too late, got to be in by 10, has an early day you see
He?s your Mr. Right with a neon sign
But the girls won?t dance that way if your too nice ?a guy
And you can?t be cool if you feel guilty for the crime
Chorus
I need some time but it?s on the clock
When will the mind crimes ever stop?
If I was King Kong I would rock - ( this town)
And smash all these evil things into the ground
Tell me more about the voices in your head
How they make you do the strangest things, Mary Jane and naked, put a gun to your head
Nobody?s got a reason to justify being mean and cruel
It?s alright if you sometimes play the fool
But that?s not the way it used to be when I was in school
Chorus
Life is beautiful and strange.
