"Beauty And The Buzz" lyrics - ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO

ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO
"Beauty And The Buzz"
(Peter Buck / Alejandro Escovedo / Scott McCaughey)

Sittin' on a fence
The big fence between time and space
Looking for a clue
I saw it on your face
Found another world
In a grain of sand
You know I left so long
Before I planned

[Chorus:]
And the answer lies
Where it always does
Somewhere between the beauty and the buzz
Tears will fall out of my mind's eye
And rain like jet debris down from the sky

Play the guitar son
You'll always have a friend
Never be alone
The romance never ends
Just an April fool
Runnin' one month late
You know the jokes on me
And the laughter fades

[Chorus:]
And the answer lies
Where it always does
Somewhere between the beauty and the buzz
The tears will fall out of mind's eye
Rain like jet debris down from the sky

Once I was an owl
Wide eyed all night long
Up with the larks
We sang an old-time song
Then I heard a voice
Echoin' around the room
It's a pretty short movie
It always ends too soon
Always ends too soon

[Chorus:]
And the answer lies
Where it always does
Somewhere between the beauty and the buzz
The truth will fall out of my mind's eye
Rain like jet debris down from the sky
And the answer lies
Where it always does
Somewhere between the beauty and the buzz
The truth will fall out of my mind's eye
Rain like jet debris down from the sky
