I Wish That I Was Beautiful For You

I wish that I was beautiful for you
 I wish that I inspired tiny fireworks inside the way you do
 So delicately made
 A prayer left unprayed
 Before the morning sky fades
 Up to blue
 And I wish that I was beautiful for you
 I wish that somehow I could find a pill
 For a quick fix modern tonic that would change me with one swallow I would kill
 Watch folks line up to pay
 Stare at me all day
 But I'd turn them all away
 If that be thy will
 One tiny little innocuous pill
 But a wish is just a pin
 In a swimming pool of needles
 If for one night you need the room
 I wish to be your tomb
 You can lie in me
 Is it possible I've other things you need
 But to be worthy of a single page out of one of those magazines you read
 As glossy as a mirror
 But mirrors never lie
 They're difficult on the eye
 It's true
 And I wish that I was beautiful for you
 I dreamed that we were travelling on a bus
 Speeding along an unnamed plain towards somewhere and nowhere there was us
 Our hands lay useless in our laps
 Like beetles on their backs
 We came to a stretch of road where a fire
 Had burned the edges all along it looked as though the highway wore eyeliner
 You kissed me by surprise
 When I opened my eyes
 You'd turned into some old guy
 I screamed
 But don't forget of all these things I've only dreamed
 If for one night you need the room
 I will be your tomb
 You can lie in me
