Benson Hedges - Intellectual

[Refrain]

Holy ghosts

When do you come out to play?

'Cause if the Lord is gonna find me

He'd better start looking today

[Verse 1]

Last week my baby hit the slopes

While I spent the weekend setting traps in the road

I should have been cutting out my eyelids

You'll never guess what baby did when she got home

Home, na-na-na-na

Now at least the birds are singing to me

But what they're trying to say

I don't know

[Chorus]

(You're beautiful) I think they come from the cold

(For all your big mistakes) I think they come from the cold

(You stayed the same) To the city that doesn't snow

[Verse 2]

So I drove until we both broke down

I was stranded in a border town

Believing the motel TV would bring me to safety

But between MTV and Mr. O'Reilly

I've come to find, that I can't be defined

So I turned it off, now convinced I would cross

Took one last look at the gold as it shattered on a mountaintop

Now I believe the sun, it's like a symphony

But what it's trying to play, I don't know

[Chorus]

(You're beautiful) I think it's come from the cold

(For all your big mistakes) I think it's come from the cold

(You stayed the same) To the city that doesn't snow

[Refrain]

(Oh, come on) Holy ghosts

When do you come out to play?

'Cause if the Lord is gonna find me

He'd better start looking today

[Bridge]

So I can rise with the river

We all float before we sink

We pray for satellites, pray for courtesy

I pray that it can climb mountains to me!

I say goodbye to the canyon

I will set sail to the streets

Where I don't care to be forgiven

I want to be forgotten

I don't care to be forgiven when, Lord, I only want to be forgotten!

Singing "Oh, woah, oh-na-na-na, oh, woah, oh"

I'm singing "Oh, woah, oh-na-na-na, oh, woah, oh"

Oh-oh, na-na-na, oh-oh

Now I receive a call, it's from my family and what they started to say brought me home

[Chorus]

(You're beautiful) They think I'm beautiful

(For all your big mistakes) They think I'm beautiful

(You're beautiful) For all my big mistakes

[Outro]

For all my big mistakes
