Beautiful People

Empty
All I've ever known diminished by this moment
Life
We're tumbling and fumbling and falling towards perfection
Lost and swept up in the current of hype
Who cares as we die
Identities are for the beautiful people
Beautiful beautiful plastic people

Sold my soul for the right pair of shoes
Even the devil was wearing them
My feet hurt like Hell
But what can you expect when
The Prince of Darkness lives next door
And they've got fake smiles on sale
There's a two-for-one special at Wal-Mart
It only costs a little
You never needed your personality anyways

Happiness is for the beautiful people
Beautiful beautiful plastic people
And it's all I can do
To feel your warm human flesh under my fingers
You're falling falling falling away
As your plastic mouth smiles for you

I want you feel you
Cold plastic never held anyone
Discount hearts
Won't feel like I do now
I'm so fake in this room of falseness

Life is for the beautiful people
Beautiful beautiful plastic people
I need to touch you
I need to prove you're real
And I hope to God
You're not a beautiful person
A beautiful beautiful plastic person
