A Beautiful Thing Lyrics - Tragically Hip

In the ulcerating silence perspective comes 

The way it always does for it's ransom 

So randomly somebody calls 

The phone rings and it brings Niagara Falls 

At three o'clock in the morning 

"You'd better be dying" and you were 

So we talked about time and where it went 

Unremarkable events 

And how one day took two days and they got spent 

How you'd continue, carefully, in degrees 

Trying to do one true beautiful thing

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

And your beautiful thing 

It'd be 

A beautiful thing 

To see 

That beautiful thing 

Continuing 

"I don't live there, I just commute" 

Secretly cradling a joint and I might puke 

A fumble with the keys under duress 

The point is this is practise duress 

At three o'clock in the morning 

"You'd better be dying" and you were 

So we talked about things and where they went 

Big remarkable events 

And how each day's a new day and they get spent 

How you'd continue, artfully, like the breeze 

Trying to do one true beautiful thing

And your beautiful thing 

It'd be 

A beautiful thing 

To see 

That beautiful thing 

Continuing 

Your beautiful thing 

Continuing 

And your beautiful thing 

Will be 

A beautiful thing 

To me 

A beautiful thing 

Continuing 

Your beautiful thing
