Beauty and the Beast.

Life so constantly veers
Impossible to think
She could cry all those tears
Nothing matters anymore
Now she hates what she used to adore

Once upon a time
In a wonderland
Where the hills were trees
And the trees were sand

A long time ago
The people used to know
About a little girl
Who used to go

Naa na na na na na nanana [x4]

How many days in a year
Supressed by dark thoughts
As she hides from her fear
She doesn't know what to do now
Pleasantly living, she can't figure out how

She's a beautiful maiden
That rises in the east
I look upon her:
The beauty and the beast

I stare at her
With an incredulous eye
She's so very perfect
It causes me to cry

Naa na na na na na nanana [x4]

Self-loathing, she wants to die
Something stopping her, I don't know what
Instead she settles down to cry
After being called obscene things but

Naa na na na na na nanana [x4]

CASEY SOLO

Once upon a time
In a wonderland
Where the hills were trees
And the trees were sand

She's a beautiful maiden
That rises in the east
I look upon her:
The beauty and the beast

I stare at her
With an incredulous eye
She's so very perfect
It causes me to cry

A long time ago
The people used to know
About a little girl
Who used to go

Once upon a time
In a wonderland
Where the hills were trees
And the trees were sand

A long time ago
The people used to know
About a little girl
Who used to go

Naa na na na na na nanana [fade to end]
