[Verse 1]

A searchlight's on the skyline

Just looking for a friend

Who's going to love my baby

When she's gone around the bend?

Egyptian bells are ringing

When it's her birthday

Sweet nothing, I'm talking about you

There's a hurricane blowing your way

[Chorus]

Ooh, such a beautiful way

To break your heart

Ooh, such a beautiful way

To break my heart

[Post-Chorus]

There's someone calling your name

It's driving you insane

[Verse 2]

You were wearing that stained raincoat

And your umbrella was a tangled mess

You were washed up on the glittering shoals

Looking for another crime to confess

You bribed yourself out of a place in the sun

But you had some change to spare

So you said you want to spend it on me

And shook the blues out of your hair

[Chorus]

Ooh, such a beautiful way

To break your heart

Ooh, such a beautiful way

To break my heart

[Post-Chorus]

There's someone calling your name

You're going to miss that train

[Chorus]

Ooh, such a beautiful way

To break your heart

Ooh, such a beautiful way

To break my heart

[Post-Chorus]

There's someone calling your name

It's driving you insane
