Utters - Beauty Queen lyrics

[Verse 1] Why are we so obsessed with cutting skin When the real things in our lives can't get in? Marching to the same drum, every single beat's gone I can hear the dark days coming Another generation, fighting for attention Can't you see I'm tired of running? [Pre-Chorus] There's a house in the forest Where her days are forgotten By the lake, she dropped her dreams And now they've sunk to the bottom [Chorus] Oh, beauty queen! It's only skin deep, only thin sheets There's no audience Oh, beauty queen! Something's telling me That you were never meant to be trapped in time [Verse 2] Why are we holding hands like paper chains? Why are we so content to stay the same? Marching to the same drum, every single beat's gone I can hear the dark days coming Another generation, fighting for attention Can't you see I'm tired of running? [Pre-Chorus 2] There's a girl I remember Who was everyone's dream Now her face has become her It's the saddest thing you'll ever see [Chorus] Oh, beauty queen! It's only skin deep, only thin sheets There's no audience Oh, beauty queen! Something's telling me That you were never meant to be trapped in time [Bridge] Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh [Pre-Chorus] There's a house in the forest Where her days are forgotten By the lake, she dropped her dreams And now they've sunk to the bottom [Bridge] Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh [Chorus] Oh, beauty queen! It's only skin deep, only thin sheets There's no audience Oh, beauty queen! Something's telling me That you were never meant to be trapped in time
