Where Did The Beautiful People Go

Where did the beautiful people go?
You've gone and left me all alone
A hole never stays empty for long
Something must take its place
Loneliness and desperation moved in
I can't find the lock but
I have the key
The puzzle is gone but
I have the missing piece

Faith on the wings of butterflys
Shriveled up and died
The morning birds have all flown away
Songs of cheer replaced by silence
Candle in my hand, flame in the air
Can you see through the darkness?

A tube of red lipstick
Bottle on the floor
Beauty and happiness is so naive
Spoiled by the curse of the world
Curled up with a blanket
Shivering in sweat
Trembling in knowledge
The beautiful people have all gone awa y
Yet never were they there at all
