Beauty, Poise an' Grace

Such beauty, poise an' grace

Too bad you've fallen down so fast

Too bad you're now an' forever

The definition of disgrace

Too bad all your friends and foes alike

Now treat you with such neglect

At least before this latest spree

They gave you some respect

Now if anyone even thinks of you

It's only with regret


From such beauty, poise an' grace

Leaves such a bitter after taste

That's the bile rising up

From all that fear and haste

Look at you now

You've become such a hard case

Covered all up in sin

Along with all those tears and cheap gin

And where has that flare gone?

You've got nowhere left to run


Lying in the gutter now your

Beauty, poise an' grace

Has gone along with all your dreams

Your hope does seem misplaced

All covered now in mire and dust

Rise again you need to find

Someone you can trust

Find some friends begin again

It's the only way to salvage things

Go on and get revenge
