Beautiful Thing, I Am Terrified - Hotel Mira

I better safety pin my psyche

Before the padded walls close in

I watched a plane crash almost nightly

I shouldn’t have asked the earth to spin

I, I thought that love was a tight dress

And I gotta make sure that you’re horny

The thoughts between bemused and numb

Infatuation lasts 'til morning

And then my name falls off your tongue

And I, I thought that love was a tight dress

It never looked so good on me

I never came to my senses, no

I let my senses come to me

Oh beautiful thing

I’m begging you, please

The prime of your youth

Don’t waste it on me

A man of my age

Shouldn’t shake in his boots

A list of mistakes

Not one of them’s cute

And I

I thought that love was a tight dress

It never looked so good on me

I never came to my senses, no

I let my senses come to me

I never came to my senses, no no no

I let my senses come to me

I gotta make sure that you like me

The quotes and lies that flee my mouth

The infant hands that sewed my Nikes

And everything I’m leaving out
