Goodness and Beauty

[00:21.04]My baby's on borrowed time
[00:22.92]She's got two train tickets to the bottom line
[00:26.26]My baby ain't doing fine
[00:28.05]She's got real bad feelings running down her spine
[00:30.66]She's got a
[00:31.47]Compartmentalized state of mind
[00:33.29]She's got two middle fingers for the uninclined
[00:36.59]She ought to listen to the jaws of fate
[00:38.47]She's got a
[00:39.20]Bone to pick with the head of state
[00:41.86]So many questions stay unanswered in my mind
[00:46.96]Goodness and beauty ain't getting easier to find
[00:51.53]I stopped to smell the roses and I lost my place in line
[00:56.39]I fill the holes with sleeping pills and cyanide
[01:02.74]Like I'm living in a nightmare
[01:05.43]Oh, the mutilation never ends
[01:07.81]Is anybody out there?
[01:10.39]Tell me that there's time to make amends
[01:13.41]Got my eyes shut tight and my nostrils wide
[01:16.18]I'm taking in the vibes
[01:18.69]Gotta play both sides, gonna turn those tides
[01:21.45]I'm raking in the highs
[01:24.43]
[01:29.84]My baby's chock-full of life
[01:31.70]She's got red hot sedition pouring down her knife
[01:34.30]You know?
[01:35.11]Sweets dreams and gasoline carve through her self-esteem
[01:39.47]I got symptoms alphabetical and
[01:41.18]Grievances ephemeral and
[01:42.45]Secrets hypothetical to spare
[01:44.73]I invest in the heretical and
[01:46.42]Prejudice identical and
[01:47.71]All the theoretical affairs
[01:50.76]So many questions stay unanswered in my mind
[01:55.77]Goodness and beauty ain't getting easier to find
[02:00.28]I stopped to smell the roses and I lost my place in line
[02:05.14]I fill the holes with sleeping pills and cyanide
[02:11.27]Like I'm living in a nightmare
[02:14.14]Pure imagination never ends
[02:16.64]Is anybody out there?
[02:19.13]Tell me where the angels play pretend
[02:22.35]Got my eyes shut tight and my nostrils wide
[02:25.01]I'm taking in the vibes
[02:27.51]Gotta play both sides, gonna turn those tides
[02:30.20]I'm raking in the highs
[02:33.15]
