The Most Beautiful Girl Lyrics - Roger Waters

She may well have been 

The most beautiful girl in the world 

Her life snuffed out 

Like a bulldozer crushing a pearl 

The secret committee 

Deep in its lair 

Conveniently far 

From the cold desert air 

Puts a tick in a box 

Turns the key in a lock 

To loosen the bonds in her hair 

Sleep if you can 

Wrapped safe in your cloak 

The tumbledown twilight 

Havana smoke 

Caught in your throat 

Mistress Liberty's dance 

Held you in its trance 

Her bosoms were loaded with nectar and lances 

"Well, boys," she said 

"You have broken the trust 

Hold on to that stick if you must." 

Take a fresh grip 

On the crucible rune 

The patchwork of ashes 

Sweeps away love like a broom 

Madness comes down 

Like the crackpot of ages 

The raging of angels 

Cathedral of stars 

Christopher Robin says 

"Alice, go home now 

They're no longer changing the guard" 

"Hold on," she said 

"You're breaking my heart" 

It's weird how the steel rails 

Disappear into the dark 

They clung to the ivory tower on her braids 

They were never afraid of falling 

But the bomb hit the spot where the numbers all stop 

And the last thing they heard was her calling... 

Home 

I'm coming home 

I'm the life that you gave 

I'm the children you saved 

I'm the promise you made 

I'm the woman you crave 

So hold on 

I'm coming home (hold on, I'm coming home)
