Ed Harcourt - The Pretty Girls lyrics

You're the circus tamer to my beast I'm a puzzle with a missing piece When I've been hanging off your soul by the skin of my teeth Can't believe I've never been in jail How you stuck with me beyond the pale Sometimes I feel like I'm the monster in this fairytale And what you love most I could well destroy Because pretty girls always fall for the baddest boys You're more stoic than prometheus Much more heroic than the each of us And unlike serpico you'll stand up for the morally corrupt You can't teach an older dog new tricks Ain't that the next move of a lunatic But I don't wanna be the captain of an empty ship And what you love most I could well destroy Because pretty girls always fall for the baddest boys What will become of the pretty girls, who put up with each of our beastly ways Sacrifice all that they strive to be, so we can act like a damn disgrace And what you love most I could well destroy Because the pretty girls always fall for the baddest boys The pretty girls always fall for the baddest boys
