Beautiful
Unveiling Beautiful Excuses: Michael Penn's Artistic Commentary
Lyrics
One more for the collection
Adding another item to a collection
You've got on your wall
Displaying on a wall
Paint it in the frame until
Putting it in a frame until
You hire out a little stall
Setting up a small stall to sell
And on a few,
Some situations make you laugh
You've got to laugh
Inscribing the autograph
As you inscribe
They, the collectibles, are the preferred choices
His autograph
Beautiful excuses are made
They are the ones that
Referring to selected items
Everybody chooses
People in general choose them
Beautiful excuses
Justifying things as beautiful
Closing in on targets
Approaching goals in plain view
In an open sight
Targets in the open are closing in
Each one spins around you
Surrounding you like satellites
And around you like a satellite
Removing one when facing difficulties
Just take one down
A precious thing hidden in challenges
When times are tough
A gem hidden in difficult situations
A diamonetta in the rough
They are the preferred choices
They are the ones that
Everyone chooses them
Everybody chooses
Beautiful excuses are made
Beautiful excuses
Always tragically perfect lures
Always tragic perfect bait
Gripping and captivating
They grip you as they captivate
Twisting, but not fabricating
Twist, but do not fabricate
Implied accusations
Then imply they implicate
Thirsty for more while waiting
You get thirsty; while you wait
A demonstrator showcases
A demonstrator demonstrates
You've run out of holy water
That you've run out of
Artworks are displayed in the Parthenon
Holy water, dude
Questioning the absence of someone special
Your works of art are
The art you created is showcased
Hanging in the Parthenon
In a famous historical structure
But where's the only one who
Where is the one who challenged you
Ever bothered to take you on
Who dared to confront you
You can't explain
Unable to explain the absence
Why that one's gone
Until identifying the reason
Until you put your finger on
Whatever the reason accuses
Whatever it accuses
Beautiful forgery is created
Beautiful forgery
Such beautiful excuses are made
Such beautiful excuses
Yearning for someone who rejects
All you ever wanted someone
All desires are for someone who denies
Who refuses
Beautiful
Beautiful
