Cover your eyes
And reach into your ears
Pull out what you've heard
And replace it with anything
Add to your body
Or take some weight
Cut it and fill it in
Whatever it takes
To be some sort of beautiful
Phony and frightening
Some sort of beautiful
Phony and frightening
Oh we must care for these little ones
We must keep them safe
From the horrible ideas
And the people who have them
They're too young for wondering
Too young for wishing
To be something other than
What they were meant to be
Tell them they're beautiful
And perfectly placed
Tell them they're beautiful
And perfectly placed
Love and be loved
Take air into your lings
And turn into the most beautiful sound you can make
Cover your eyes
And reach into your ears
Pull out what you've heard and replace it with anything
And reach into your ears
Pull out what you've heard
And replace it with anything
Add to your body
Or take some weight
Cut it and fill it in
Whatever it takes
To be some sort of beautiful
Phony and frightening
Some sort of beautiful
Phony and frightening
Oh we must care for these little ones
We must keep them safe
From the horrible ideas
And the people who have them
They're too young for wondering
Too young for wishing
To be something other than
What they were meant to be
Tell them they're beautiful
And perfectly placed
Tell them they're beautiful
And perfectly placed
Love and be loved
Take air into your lings
And turn into the most beautiful sound you can make
Cover your eyes
And reach into your ears
Pull out what you've heard and replace it with anything
