Oh my god you're beautiful, wonderful
Oh my god you're beautiful, wonderful
When I die I want to come back as you
That's a stupid thing to say, I know, that's not possible
But how I wonder what may be
Oh god, you're beautiful
Oh my god you're beautiful, wonderful
Oh my god you're beautiful, wonderful
What if they scattered my ashes on the ground beneath your feet
Then maybe you'd get down and you’d pick out some seed or some weed or something
And then I would be the earth beneath your fingernails
Oh god, how beautiful
Then maybe you'd brush a lock of hair out of your eyes
And you’d leave a trace of me on your face
Then I would be the earth, resting on your skin
I’d roll down you in a bead of sweat, and maybe I’d make it to your mouth
Oh god, how beautiful
So hot you'd have to take a drink of water eventually
And then maybe, you'd lick your lips and you’d swallow me down
Swallow me down, swallow me down, swallow me down
Then I would’ve finally come back as you
Then I would’ve finally, then I would have finally come back as you
Oh my god I'd be beautiful, wonderful
Oh my god I'd be beautiful, wonderful
