"When Your Beauty Fades (You'll Be Lonely)" lyrics - STRIPPER'S UNION

You're drinking up the sun
Under its gaze
You're showing everyone
Your pride of place
And that's natural
You're delicate and cruel
No hint of shame
You play us and forget us
And forget we're both the same

You're a temporary bloom
Like a sunbeam across the room
And when your beauty fades
You'll be lonely

You're climbing out the dirt
And up the fence
Summoning your thorns
In common sense
And that's natural
They're brushing me aside
For better looks?
I'm yours and you're mine
And when I'm on your arm it's off the books

You're red as blood
Deep as the sea
And when your beauty fades
You'll be lonely

I'm taking in the sky
Comet going by
Through a million stars
All fields that bloom decay
Meteors burn away

Time makes you
Time takes you
When your beauty fades
When your beauty fades
When your beauty fades
You'll be lonely
