The Most Beautiful Girl

She may well have been
 The most beautiful girl in the world
 Her life snuffed out
 Like a bulldozer crushing a pearl
 ♪
 The secret committee
 Deep in its lair
 Conveniently far
 From the cold desert air
 Puts a tick in a box,
 Turns the key in a lock
 To loosen the bonds in her hair
 Sleep if you can
 Wrapped safe in your cloak
 ♪
 The tumbledown twilight
 Havana smoke
 Caught in your throat
 
 Mistress Liberty's dance
 Held you in its trance
 Her bosoms were loaded with nectar and lances
 "Well, boys", she said
 "You have broken the trust.
 Hold onto that stick if you must."
 ♪
 Take a fresh grip
 On the crucible rune
 ♪
 The patchwork of ashes
 Sweeps away love like a broom
 ♪
 Madness comes down
 Like the crackpot of ages
 The raging of angels
 Cathedral of stars
 Christopher Robin says
 "Alice, go home now.
 They're no longer changing the guard."
 ♪
 "Hold on", she said
 "You're breaking my heart"
 
 It's weird how the steel rails
 Disappear into the dark
 ♪
 They clung to the ivory tower on her braids
 They were never afraid of falling
 But the bomb hit the spot where the numbers all stop
 And the last thing they heard was her calling...
 Home
 Home, I'm coming home
 I'm the life that you gave
 I'm the children you save
 I'm the promise you made
 I'm the woman you crave
 ♪
 So hold on
 I'm coming home
 (Hold on, I'm coming home)
