[Verse 1]
It's at times such as this, she'd be tempted to spit
If she wasn't so ladylike
She imagines how she might have lived
Back when legends and history collide
So she looks to her prince finding since he's so charmingly
Slumped at her side
Those days are recalled on the gallery wall
And she's waiting for passion or humour to strike

[Chorus]
What shall we do, what shall we do
With all this useless beauty?
All this useless beauty

[Verse 2]
Good Friday arrived, the sky darkened on time
Till he almost began to negotiate
She held his head like a baby and said
"It's okay if you cry"
Now he wants her to dress as if you couldn't guess
He desires to impress his associates
But he's part ugly beast and Hellenic deceased
So she finds that the mixture is hard to deny

[Chorus]
What shall we do, what shall we do
With all this useless beauty?
All this useless beauty
