Lyrics
[Intro]
Play that again
[Intro]
He, how could it be, he hears the music?
You, you hear it too, you hear the music?
Now sing
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Sing, sing for me
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
[Verse 1]
Have you ever yearned to go
Past the world you think you know?
Been enthralled to the call
Of the beauty underneath?
Have you let it draw you in
Past the place where dreams begin?
Felt the full breathless pull
Of the beauty underneath?
[Refrain]
Can you taste it?
Have you heard its music and embraced it?
Do you crave the visions that have chose you?
Do you wonder why it chose you?
Like it knows you
Knows you have a darkness running through you
If you're not afraid, I'll show it to you
You don't fear the darkness, do you?
[Verse 2]
Have you found yourself beguiled by the dangerous and wild
And been hooked as you looked at the beauty underneath?
Have you felt your senses surge and surrendered to the urge?
Tell me you know it, too, know the beauty underneath
[Refrain]
If it's in you
In your skin, and bone, and blood, and sinew
If it doesn't frighten you and shake you
There are places I can take you
I can taste it
I have heard the music and embraced it
Even in the wonders that you've showed me
It's as if he's always known me
[Verse 3]
It's all so beautiful
So strange, yet beautiful
Everything's just as you say
And he's so beautiful
Perhaps too beautiful
What I suspect cannot be
Still he seems so much like me
I can't look away
[Refrain]
Can you taste it?
You have seen the darkest and embraced it
Don't you crave the visions that have chose you?
Don't you wish that it had chose you?
Why he knows us?
Knows our skin, and bone, and blood, it's in you
Knows the things I recognized within you
Are you willing to continue?
[Refrain]
But it knows you
Knows your skin, and bone, and blood, and sinew
Knows you have no beauty deep within you
Knows the madness can continue
[Outro]
And you're ready (Yes)
Come closer (Yes)
You've no fear of the beauty underneath
You can face it (Yes)
You can take it (Yes)
You see through to the beauty underneath
To the splendor (Splendor)
And the glory (Glory)
To the truth of the beauty underneath (Beauty underneath)
You'll accept it (Yes)
You'll embrace it (Yes)
Let me show you the beauty underneath
All the splendor (Splendor)
And the glory (And the glory)
All the truth of the beauty underneath (Beauty underneath)
You'll accept it (Yes)
You'll embrace it (Yes)
Let me show you the beauty under (Ah!)
