 Intro x2 (Leave
 the high  string open for the  and )
 Oh the light  left the Room Oh where did it go?
 She said  that she left in the end
 He was something to sell
 But the seas  gotten dry  somehow
 There’s no such thing as grim
Whether  I am
You  don’t Have to trust me I know It’s  hard
 As I said at my circus tent
 One week later
 Do you  want to retire
 This is an honest disease
 Of which there’s never a cure
 At least that’s what she believes
 Intro X 1
 Oh the Ambulance  left in a heap next to a bar
 Like an ordinary  citizen
 Dead up in  the trunk of a car
 Well She  don’t know them
She  just gets tired that’s just she’s runaway
 Down In the  bottom’s the top
 As I traded  my radio for
 Something  smaller
 Something  I can fit  inside
 My hole  (sized heart)
 (This is an) honest  disease
 Of which there’s never a cure
 At least that’s what she believes
 And when the city gets rough
 She gets into a balloon
 Leaving all of your stuff
 Leaving only with
 All this useless  beauty
 All this Useless  Beauty
 Intro x 4
 Oh the  light left the Room Oh where did it go?
 She’s said  that she left in the end
 He’s something himself
 But the seas  gotten dry  somehow
 There’s no such thing as grim
Whether  I am
 You don’t Have to trust  me I know It’s hard
 As I said at my circus tent
 One week later
 To want  to retire
 This is an honest disease
 Of which there’s never a cure
 At least that’s what she believes

 All this useless  beauty
