Appendix
[Verse 1]
Smoke billows below, it's stop-and-go traffic
All down the roadway, into the neighbourhood
Day after day and year after year
But nothing changes
I live alone in a bungalow
Go past the park and leave behind the condos
House after house and street after street
We have to make ends meet

[Chorus]
And though everybody dies frustrated and sad
You're beautiful, you're beautiful, you're beautiful, you're beautiful
And though everybody dies cold and alone
You're powerful, you're powerful, you're powerful, you're powerful
And though you've come up to the end of the sidewalk
Go on, move on, go by, say bye-bye
And date and sign the paper

[Verse 2]
I'm living tired, over up and under
Moon overhead, glow down on asunder
Life pouring through the glassy wall
I've never felt so tall
I'm holding on 'til the credits are done
I'd like to get all I can for my dime
Name after name and role after role
I can't have known them all
[Chorus]
And though everybody dies frustrated and sad
You're beautiful, you're beautiful, you're beautiful, you're beautiful
And though everybody dies cold and alone
You're powerful, you're powerful, you're powerful, you're powerful
And though you've come up to the end of the sidewalk
Go on, move on, go by, say bye-bye
And date and sign the paper

[Verse 3]
Smoke billows, I walk into oncoming traffic
Over the asphalt, into the roundabout
Cars circle 'round like buzzards and vultures
I lie down on the cement

[Coda]
I'm living life with what I've got
I'm trying to be someone I'm not
All of the notes are falling into the wrong key
