Hemingway - Beautiful Friend

You were an angel strung out on a wire
Looking for some kind of proof
That what you were
And all that you believed in
Wasn't transparent see-through

Your pretty face broken
By the realisation
All the stories they told ain't true
And the streets are paved
With broken hearts and bad dreams
And happiness is the refuge of the view

You keep on asking
When is it gonna end?
I don't have the answer
You keep on asking
When is it going to end?
I don't have the answer
My beautiful friend

Your eyes so deep
You'd be lost forever
If you ever dared to step into
For they have seen the best
And all the worst things
That a solitary man can do

Just a bruised reflection
Jerking from the moonlight
Inside the shadows womb
It's a safety net
A shroud against the cold night
And all of those disingenuous fools

You keep on asking
When is it gonna end?
I don't have the answer
Yeah, you keep on asking
When is it gonna end?
I don't have the answer yet

Oh oh oh do you feel my love?
Oh oh oh do you feel my love?
Still screaming oh oh oh

You keep on asking
When is it gonna end?
I don't have the answer
My beautiful friend
Yeah, you keep on asking
When is it gonna end?
I don't have the answers yet
