Beautiful Youth

(Verse 1)
I was born in the city
And what I say is the truth
I saw the day of the locust
At the time when that grasshopper flew
I watched em' pourin' martinis
Out by the studio gates

(Chorus)
Beautiful dreamers, so young and so new
Beautiful dreamers, beautiful youth

(Verse 2)
I saw em' livin' on power
A lot of whisky in milk, yes I did
Swearin' love not forever
But just if the preview went well
Then back to the old Chateau Mormont
For a drive to the Malibu sea

(Chorus/Guitar Solo)
Beautiful dreamers, so young and so new
Beautiful dreamers, beautiful youth
So young and so pure

(Verse 3)
Down at the garden of Allah
Behind a rose covered wall
You'll find those beautiful dreamers
Who live just for nothing at all
But the day of the locust is over
And now it's the spider that flies

(Instrumental/Chorus Outro)
Beautiful dreamers, beautiful lives
Beautiful dreamers, they got stars in their eyes
Beautiful dreamers, so young and so new
Beautiful dreamers, beautiful youth
