One night as an astronaut Can redefine your life As the lines get blurred And your speech gets slurred and tangles up like wires And you have made up your mind Watch all that's beautiful die One night by Chapala Lake Can call to mind her attic space As she talks to you in the slanted truth Her green eyes burning bright We hang like ghosts tonight Watch all that's beautiful die We're always waiting For something to arrive And often we've gone missing Like misconnecting flights And the airport at night is empty
So we're looking towards the sky To let all that's beautiful die One night as an astronaut Can redefine your life As the drinks get poured and the room distorts To colors soft and bright You have made up your mind Watched all that's beautiful die I've tried my best to act my age But I couldn't stomach it Tried so hard to dance through days But I lack the confidence And the interstate is endless So we're stopping for the night To let all that is beautiful die
