[Verse 1]
She’s got the eyes of a snake
Loaded dice raising stakes from a cash cow
I’ll be her burn victim, hypothermic, so damn hot
Come to smiling like I blacked out in Glasgow
I woke up in the name that I wore last night to the sound of an empty bed
And it’s ringing in my ears just like sweet nothings from the voices in my head

[Chorus]
Where do you get off being so God damn beautiful?
Oh lord, don’t ask me what I mean
Where do you get off being so God damn beautiful?
Oh lord

[Verse 2]
She’s got the touch of an anesthesiologist
Please put me under
Because I tremble with the notion that there’s something unsaid
But numb my head I’ll mumble reticently I wonder how I
I woke up in the middle of my surgery and I watched them botch my heart
Only the second worst thing that I could’ve thought was
“This won’t have to end if it doesn’t start.”

[Chorus]
Where do you get off being so God damn beautiful?
Oh lord, don’t ask me what I mean
Where do you get off being so God damn beautiful?
Oh lord
