Your Beauty Must Be Rubbing Off Lyrics - Hawksley Workman

look at those buggers who are looting the crash site 

taking the ring off your sweet little finger 

that i gave to you, when we got married 

you're under water now, you're getting back to where you came from 

no stealing of your beauty that could naturally flow 

from the center of all that you are, all that you are 

your beauty must be rubbing off 

your beauty must be rubbing off on me 

if we had children they'd be lovely and beautiful 

and posses a peace and strength and a depth in their eyes 

and a SOUNDNESS in heart, even as they cry 

and we as lovers bloom like lilies in midnight 

to taste our bellies before god 

we are witness to currents we cannot control, cannot control 

your beauty must be rubbing off 

your beauty must be rubbing off on me 

your beauty must be rubbing off 

your beauty must be rubbing off on me 

it's all the faces that you never have, or that you never had 

to the shivers you couldn't shake the planes 

you didn't make the hooks that didn't take off at night 

in your window as you fight with the curtains 

to cover up your nakedness from the neighbour's gaze such a sweet display 

of nothingness of everything of nevermind 

these thing are fine the sweet tooth sunsets forgets tonight 

cacphony, cacaphoney 

so let me say that you look lovely in all of this 

and let me say that the death that i fear 

could in part be a fear that i'd lose you, your just as i found you 

your beauty must be rubbing off 

your beauty must be rubbing off on me 

your beauty must be rubbing off 

your beauty must be rubbing off on me 

don't be a stranger to the danger that is kissing you x2 

your beauty must be rubbing off 

(repeat until end)
