all this useless beauty
Singer:costello, elvis
it's at times such as this she'd be tempted to spit
if she wasn't so ladylike
she imagines how she might have lived
back when legends and history collide
so she looks to her prince finding he's so charmingly
those days are recalled on the gallery wall
and she's waiting for passion or humour to strike
what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
'til he almost began to negotiate
she held his head like a baby and said it's okay if you cry"
