‘Beautiful People’ is about the band’s bizarre parties after the end of tours or album releases
You go in there and there’s no one you actually know and everyone’s off their heads on all sorts of different stuff and they’re in your face, sweating, going, ‘Hey! Love your new record!’ It’s about bein...
When you look out at night, you are surrounded by people
Cracked in the heat again, dead on their feet again, people
Rings all around their eyes, flashing their whitest lies
Taking their medicine, till they're all out of time, people, people
What does it say to you when you can't face all those people
You could run out of friends faster than making them
Out on your own again, now you don't know how to feel, feel
When you're looking for reason and finding confusion
You're caught in the crossfire, learning to thrill
Well there's gotta be some way out of the groove
Now you're caught in a maelstrom, spinning your laughter
Feeling your backbone turn into glue
And I wanna be so fine, people
When you look out at night, are you surrounded by people
Cracked in the heat again, dead on their feet again
Taking their medicine, till they're all out of time, people, people
When you're looking for reason and finding confusion
You're caught in the crossfire, learning to thrill
Well there's gotta be some way out of the groove
Now you're caught in a maelstrom, spinning your laughter
Feeling your backbone turn into glue
And I wanna be so fine, people
People, people, people
