Some of you will already know there´s no place to go
This is the modern man, as good as I am
Here in the heart of the sun my memory melts
Swellegant, elephant pain, he never forgets
Should´ve been a beautiful thing
Could´ve been a beautiful thing

Pull over to the side of the road, let the bold be bold
Luxury at a low introductory price, now wouldn´t that be nice?
A happy little family puts you in a trance meanwhile back at the ranch
Insatiable hand-held flexible friend, why not give him a chance?
Could´ve been a beautiful thing
Should´ve been, could´ve been a beautiful thing

Promises of pleasure mesmerised, but how far can we get?
At least here in the eye of the storm I won´t get my hairdo wet
Some of you have already foreseen yourself undone
Some of you seem to believe you´ve only just begun
Try a little perjury, get rich quick
My eyes are bigger than my belly is, and it makes me sick
Attitude, so much to prove, should´ve been a beautiful thing
Some of you will already know, and I´m still wondering
Should´ve been a beautiful thing
Could´ve been a beautiful thing
I could´ve been, should´ve been, could´ve been a beautiful thing
Could´ve been a beautiful thing
Should´ve been, would´ve been a beautiful thing
