Beautiful People

I said beautiful people
They've got a Robert Palmer T - shirt in their travel bag
Beautiful people
They've got a price upon their head
I said beautiful people
Have got some friends who just flew in from L.A yeah
Beautiful people
They haven't really much to say
Chorus
I said people they just want to take you
People they just want to make you
People they just want to break you down
They just want to take you down
I said beautiful people
They ride two hundred dollar pushbikes in the park
Beautiful people
They wont admit it but they make love in the dark
Beautiful people
Snap frozen potted palms
In the corner of the sitting room
Beautiful people
The art-decor sonic boom
Chorus
I said beautiful people
You know they're going out tonight
To get their Bombay rocks off
Beautiful people
They've got a Kerouac condition
Got a cocaine cough
Beautiful people
Studio 54 is the only place to dance
Beautiful people
You know the garden's full of furniture
The house is full of plants
Chorus
