Lyrics

Beautiful Faces

And as the Earth returned to calmly dress itself in white
We got a glimpse of all the people going out tonight
Big guys and little guys, and bad guys in cuffs
I bet they can't get enough
Tonight I wanna be on Broadway and in cabaret
Tonight I must go out and celebrate St. Patrick's Day
Tonight I must demand a raise so I can grab, let's say
Some part replacements with strawberry laces, no spaces
Beautiful faces smiling over us
Lift your hands up and lead us back home
Beautiful people won't remember you, honey
I bet you can't get enough
Beautiful faces smiling over us
Lift your hands up and lead us back home
Beautiful people won't remember you, honey
I bet you can't get enough
Tonight I'm good staying inside
But I'll be dancing for sure
Going to the stores, pullin' socks out of the drawers
Of the people who you don't love anymore
The beautiful faces smiling over us
Lift your hands up and lead us back home
Beautiful people won't remember you, honey
I bet you can't get enough
Beautiful faces smiling over us
Lift your hands up and lead us back home
Beautiful people won't remember you, honey
I bet you can't get enough
All the beautiful faces smiling over us
Lift your hands up and lead us back home
Beautiful people won't remember you, honey
I bet you can't get enough
I bet you can't get enough
