Beautiful Boyz - CocoRosie

No more of those beautiful boys

No more of those beautiful boys

Born illegitimately to a whore most likely

He became an orphan

Oh, what a lovely orphan

He was sent to the reformatory

Ten years old, it was his first glory

Got caught stealing from a nun

Now his love story had begun

Thirty years he spent wandering

A devil’s child with dove wings

Oh, he went to prison

In every country he set foot in

Oh, how he loved — he loved prison

How awfully lovely was prison

All those beautiful boys

Pimps and queens and criminal queers

All those beautiful boys

Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

His greatest love was executed

The pure romance was undisputed

Angelic hoodlums and holy ones

Angelic hoodlums and holy ones

All those beautiful boys

Pimps and queens and criminal queers

All those beautiful boys

Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

All those beautiful boys

Pimps and queens and criminal queers

All those beautiful boys

Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

All those beautiful boys

Beautiful boys

All those beautiful boys

No more of those beautiful boys

No more of those beautiful boys
