Beauty Queen Lyrics - Foxes

Why are we so obsessed with cutting skin 

When the real things in our lives can't get in? 

Marching to the same drum 

Every single beat's gone 

I can hear the dark days coming 

Another generation 

Fighting for attention 

Can't you see I'm tired of running? 

There's a house in the forest 

Where her days are forgotten 

By the lake, she dropped her dreams 

And now they've sunk to the bottom 

Oh, beauty queen 

It's only skin deep 

It's only thin sheets 

There's no audience

Oh, beauty queen 

Something's telling me 

That you were never meant to be 

Trapped in time 

Why are we holding hands like paper chains? 

Why are we so content to stay the same? 

Marching to the same drum 

Every single beat's gone 

I can hear the dark days coming 

Another generation 

Fighting for attention 

Can't you see I'm tired of running? 

There's a girl I remember 

Who was everyone's dream 

Now her face has become her 

It's the saddest thing you'll ever see

Oh, beauty queen 

It's only skin deep 

It's only thin sheets 

There's no audience 

Oh, beauty queen 

Something's telling me 

That you were never meant to be 

Trapped in time 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 

There's a house in the forest 

Where her days are forgotten 

By the lake she dropped her dreams 

Now they've sunk to the bottom 

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh 

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh 

Oh, oh oh oh oh 

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh 

Oh, beauty queen 

It's only skin deep 

It's only thin sheets 

There's no audience 

Oh, beauty queen 

Something's telling me 

That you were never meant to be 

Trapped in time
