In the Water I Am Beautiful - Sweet Billy Pilgrim

In the Water I Am Beautiful Lyrics

The eyes of crows will snag my clothes
My seams to pick and snip
And bruises creep like smoke beneath
My wrinkled fingertips
When I cry my tears leave oily rainbows in the snowBut in the water I am beautifulThem's the breaks, the daily ache
So vague and ill-defined
And hearts will stop like broken clocks
As promises unwind
I feel like a souvenir, too tacky to be cool
But in the water I am beautifulThe cathode flash of all that trash
Lights me up like a star
And little kicks for little pricks
Are lined up on the bar
One more little push and I'll surrender to the pullBut in the water I am beautiful
Water in my mouth - Words get pretty hard to swallow
Cold sets in my bones
Water in my ears - Words are pretty hard to follow
I'm old enough to feel like I'm aliveIn the water I am beautiful
