Tekster: Molly Thomason. Beauty Queen.

Beauty Queen falls asleep
You're just fourteen, and my dear,
What have you seen?

Cuddle up to me
I'll help you live your fantasy
And try to be there when you wake
But my promises always seem to lead to mistakes

I try to get
Why, why, why
And she tries to get
By, by, by
Everyone around me gets
High, high, high
And I can't remember the colour of her eyes

In her sleep she cries
For the past and old goodbyes
While in a wakened state preaches no regret
And no hate

She's been looking in every face for
A little happiness, a little faith but
All of the ones she finds, seem to come
At the wrong time
Just leading her down a path
She don't know where it goes
But she cannot get back

Well, I try to get
Why, why, why
And she tries to get
By, by, by
Everyone around me gets
High, high, high
And I can't remember the colour of her eyes

Beauty Queen
Falls asleep
You're just fourteen
And my dear, there's so much still to see

Well, I try to get...
Well I try to get
Why, why, why
As we say
Goodbye, bye, bye
Well she spreads her wings and she flies
'Til I can't see the colour of her eyes
I cannot see the colour of her eyes
