Lyrics

Verse 1
They keep her picture, they look into her
They write her letters as if they knew her
They take posession, their little darling
Love her best when they see her falling
Mouths flapping, shutters snapping as they follow her downtown
And what they say is...

Chorus
Here comes my Beautiful Loser
Here comes my Beautiful Loser
Here comes my Beautiful Loser now

Verse 2
The lifestyles of the rich and tawdry
They?d sell their soul to go through her laundry
They?re fascinated by who she married
But don?t believe it?s his kid she carried
Outside the church they wait, to soil her gown
And what they say is...

Chorus
Here comes my Beautiful Loser
Here comes my Beautiful Loser
Here comes my Beautiful Loser now

Bridge
People gather ?round, celebrating trash
Swallowing the medicine and coughing up the cash

Verse 3
The magic moments, the human drama
The Queen of England, the Dalai Lama
The Riviera, the slopes at Aspen
Here they come out of breath and gasping
They?ll be at the bottom of the hill when she comes tumbling down
And what they?ll say is...

Chorus
Here comes my Beautiful Loser
Here comes my Beautiful Loser
Here comes my Beautiful Loser now
