Beautiful - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Kyle Falconer]

Boy you've dug your head out of a thousand holes

You've gotta stand up, you gotta take the blows

Cos if you don't take the blows then the girl won't sing

And the grass won't grow

Sometimes I think that I think too much

And that it's all in my head, and I can't touch

Cos if you touch too much then the lights won't go

And the water won't flush

And I'm chasing all the cares away

Fighting for freedom for one day

I'm chasing all my cares away

So take me to that beautiful way

Nigel said my eyes look blank too much

And if I carry on my mind will turn to mush

And if It turns to mush then the string won't rattle

And the paint won't brush

He said you're only happy when you're pissed"

I said, "No I'm Not"

He said, "I insist"

How many times should you have a blow a fist

But instead, you've swung your first?

And I'm chasing all the cares away

Fighting for freedom for one day

I'm chasing all my cares away

So take me to that beautiful way

What was that dripping away?

Oh, was it water or time?

Was it a stunt or a crime?

You can only own your own life

So I own mine, I own mine

And I'm chasing all the cares away

Fighting for freedom for one day

I'm chasing all my cares away

So take me to that beautiful way

So take me to that beautiful way (yeah)

Yeah, take me to that beautiful way
