Born Beautiful lyrics

They were born beautiful
So right away
They swore they could get themselves a house someday
And read to each other
Despite all the others that had passed through their back gates
They were both radiant and far away
Living on a diet of romance and faith
Until history crept in and wouldn't leave them

It's a classless kind of fate
It holds it's ground in the way that death just makes you wait
New fear to edit the cutting room floor where their hopes are
Cos it's not pretty
And if you had to watch a movie of it
I'm sure you'd both be horrified
Horrified and bored

All the hope that gets shafted
To bet on the good life
With all the granite etched in
They may as well have been man and wife;
All the fits he'd throw
Feeling her anger grow
It never gets found lost in used to be's
And you're left with so much wasted energy
So now to cold satellites that have crashed to earth:
Welcome home
