Clifford the Band - A Thing of Beauty lyrics

Artist: Clifford the Band

album: Projections of A Body Electric


Straining their breath through their
Teeth as they deftly tie
Gold rings in ringlets
Adorning his head
Hold in adoration the
Ill-fitting form
Between coat hanging shoulders
A body is warm
A thing of beauty is a joy forever
There's silt at the bottom but
Heaven pours out
When the red-throated bottle
Unstoppers its mouth
Ash on the carpet and
Silk on the bed
We're framing the best parts and
Burning the rest
A thing of beauty is a joy forever
But splendor is a brittle thing
The last ship in the Navy sinks
With the last sip of another drink
And the lips it slips between
Guilt of the father for
Sins of the son
Temper gestures of love
Words of affirmation
Stop gilding the carwreck
The damage is did
If there's something should be said
Don't know what it is
A thing of beauty is a joy forever
But splendor is a brittle thing
The last ship in the Navy sinks
With the last sip of another drink
And the lips it slips between
