Everything Beautiful Is Far Away Lyrics - Under The Western Freeway - Grandaddy

He just finished eating dinner 

And stepped outside the cave to smoke 

A cigarette he'd made from rolled up photo paper 

They were pictures of things back on earth 

He looked out on the greyish white expanse 

Of uninhabited terrain he now called home 

He'd seen plenty of mirages and imaginary visitors up until then 

So he wasn't sure what to think when he saw swans 

And they were wading on the shores of a pale white lake 

That he'd never seen there before 

And it was quite beautiful and it was far away 

'Cause everything beautiful is far away

He knew he was as good as gone 

But gone was somewhere he really didn't mind going to 

Since the shuttle had crashed many years had passed 

And the pictures of his loved ones 

That he drew on the walls of the cave had finally faded 

He put out his smoke and proceeded toward the lake 

Repeating to himself 

"Everything beautiful is far away"

My problems(?) are done 

This time I overcome 

Right now it's just too hard for me 

I just wanna punch you 

Never let me(?)
