NICKEL CREEK LYRICS - Beauty And The Mess

"Beauty And The Mess"



blue waters blue eyes color me

if any could come this close I'd let them see

get it out again and play 'em one more song

it's all they really want and who's to say that's wrong



ain't that what you want them to know?

all they get of you is what they get out of the show

the rest is mine, I guess, the beauty and the mess

to hide



I pull myself under and down I go again

it's just a little bit hard letting them in

looking at the world through elusive eyes

I hide in the spotlight it's a great disguise



ain't that what you want them to know?

all they all they get of you is what they get out of the show

the rest is mine, I guess, the beauty and the mess

to hide



behind the melody the words don't mean a thing

but every tone I play would give whatever I've not said away

behind the melody the words don't mean a thing

but every tone I play would give whatever I've not said away

behind the melody the words don't mean a thing

but every tone I play would give whatever I've not said away



ain't that what you want them to know?

all they all they get of you is all they get of you is what they get out of the

show

the rest is mine I guess the beauty and the mess...

ain't that what you want them to know?

all they get of you is what they get out of the show

the rest is mine I guess the beauty and the mess

the rest the rest is mine I guess the beauty and the mess the rest the rest is

mine I guess I guess the beauty and the mess: to hide
