What happens when her beauty fades?
Is she a thing of the past?
Will she start hiding in the shade?
That's what the media ask
They got their heads up their ass
Will she go for surgery they call it elective
It always looks weird never effective
Like fine monofilament holding up her skin
Attached to the sky above the rictus of a grin
Oh well is that what happens when her beauty fades
What happens when he creaks and groans?
Is that the time to give up?
Losing all kinds of muscle tones
And drinking food from a cup
He used to chew now he sups
Reeling from the image in the mirror on the wall
Deeply disgusted utterly appalled
Inhabited by some strange new host
A hobgoblin or his daddy’s ghost
Is that what happens when he creaks and groans
What happens when their beauty fades?
They just look inwards and find out what they're made of
And it's the good stuff you know it’s more than enough
Yeah that's what happens when their beauty fades
Yeah that's what happens when their beauty fades
