One day my heart sings and the next it bleeds Take away your carrots on strings arrows and slings your browbeating Are you really ahead of your time or just ahead of bad taste Morning is drawning it's sleeping time stupefied in my own brine We had such high hopes high hopes high hopes You are truely beautiful though And high hopes high hopes high hopes You are truely beautiful One day my hand shakes wearing itself gin again for God's sake In the rubble hangs a little black hand putting our heads in the sand Little fat dogs little fucking sods they're barking and screaming Drinking and oblivion seem much more convivial We had such high hopes high hopes high hopes You are truely beautiful though It's high hopes high hopes high hopes You are truely beautiful One day my heart sings and the next it bleeds Take away your carrots on strings arrows and slings your beautiful things It's high hopes and high hopes and high hopes You are truely beautiful though And high hopes high you are truely beautiful truely beautiful
