I know, I know
You've come to take me down
I knew this would happenRelax
Could it be you were meant for this?
Did you ever doubt it?But if I cease to be
What of all those lonely, lonely nights?
Your darkroom and your 8x10's?
And if I cease to be
Who will you believe in anymore?
This world is such a boreSome lives have a way of colliding
And blurring into headlines
I've had dreams about this for years, you know
(Thought you would be taller)But if I cease to be
What of all those lonely, lonely nights?
Your darkroom and your 8x10's?
And if I cease to be
Who will you believe in anymore?
This world is such a boreSuch a beautiful world
What a beautiful lie
Such a beautiful world
What a beautiful lie
Such a beautiful world
What a beautiful, a beautiful lieMaybe I'm amazed at how real this is
That's why I'm not frightened
Oh no, guess my time's coming to an end
You've taken your mask offSuch a beautiful world
What a beautiful lie
Such a beautiful world
What a beautiful lie
Such a beautiful world
What a beautiful, a beautiful lie
