BmAhh-ahh (repeated)
BmAnd we steal our experience from an object that suffers 
BmBut the brightest pain leaves a shadow on no one 
BmI saw you through the window masturbating to the violence 
BmAnd the blood and the bodies floated through the blue sun. 
BmAnd the green earth turns to flesh in your hand 
BmAnd the ether was born in the lungs of an ancient man 
BmWe hallucinated at night. 
BmOur mind's in the light 
BmBut I can't feel the body of the image which is now penetrating my sight 
BmBut you're beautiful. 
BmAnd you're real 
BmAre you beautiful? 
BmAre you real?
BmAhh-ahh (repeated)
BmAnd my body begins where your memory ends 
BmYou were melted from stone. 
BmI was touched by your hands 
BmI can feel it when pleasure moves up your spine 
BmI can tell we're alive because your blood just blended with mine
BmAnd the angels of heaven never sacrificed a sensation as pure as the cut of this knife 
BmAnd the wisdom contained in the telepathy of fear 
BmSolidified our suffering into the droning sound I still hear 
BmBut you're beautiful. 
BmAnd you're real 
BmAre you beautiful? 
BmAre you real?

Ahh-ahh (repeated)

And we steal our experience from an object that suffers

But the brightest pain leaves a shadow on no one

I saw you through the window masturbating to the violence

And the blood and the bodies floated through the blue sun.

And the green earth turns to flesh in your hand

And the ether was born in the lungs of an ancient man

We hallucinated at night.

Our mind's in the light

But I can't feel the body of the image which is now penetrating my sight

But you're beautiful.

And you're real

Are you beautiful?

Are you real?

Ahh-ahh (repeated)

And my body begins where your memory ends

You were melted from stone.

I was touched by your hands

I can feel it when pleasure moves up your spine

I can tell we're alive because your blood just blended with mine

And the angels of heaven never sacrificed a sensation as pure as the cut of this knife

And the wisdom contained in the telepathy of fear

Solidified our suffering into the droning sound I still hear

But you're beautiful.

And you're real

Are you beautiful?

Are you real?
