We were driving through a Texas stretch It wasn't much and the flowers were dead You started laughing through your crooked teeth All of a sudden, it was quite the scene So crazy, all this time I've been bored on these American drives I'm watching cactuses pass me by Did it look like this my whole damn life? Crying over beauty, that's what you do to me Crying over beauty, whole world looking new to me Crying over beauty I was lying on the plastic grass You came beside me and you held my hand We were looking up at the telephone wires But I know Van Gogh would be inspired So crazy, all this time It was sitting right in front of my eyes I've been living under the same sky Did it look like this my whole damn life? Crying over beauty, that's what you do to me Crying over beauty, whole world looking new to me Crying over beauty Saw the cherry trees in Tokyo They were falling like winter snow I was sick as fuck, that didn't matter much I felt euphoria Crying over beauty, oh Crying over beauty Crying over beauty Crying over beauty
