From the recording Young & Beautiful
Lyrics
Step out of the water
Clogged up mirror
Wiped by hand
Smudges, blotches, yet
I can see clearly now
Best not to look
Run the hot water
Mirror fogged up again
But I can't hide it
Purity is overrated
And subject to perception
A day doesn't go by that I don't dream
Of being Young & Beautiful
But then I realize that even when I was young
I wasn't all that young or beautiful
Not young or beautiful...
Blasting the radio
Talk shows, Muzak
Never me
Wanting, waiting for
I can see clearly now
Dirty elbows
Street smells all over
Bathe all I want
But I can't hide it
Clarity is overrated
I pray for some deception
A night doesn't go by that I don't dream
Of waking Young & Beautiful
There's a little boy inside my dreams that seems so sad
So lost, so Young & Beautiful
So Young & Beautiful...
Sanity is overrated...
