[Verse 1]
A searchlight's on the skyline
Just looking for a friend
Who's going to love my baby
When she's gone around the bend?
Egyptian bells are ringing
When it's her birthday
Sweet nothing, I'm talking about you
There's a hurricane blowing your way

[Chorus]
Ooh, such a beautiful way
To break your heart
Ooh, such a beautiful way
To break my heart

[Post-Chorus]
There's someone calling your name
It's driving you insane

[Verse 2]
You were wearing that stained raincoat
And your umbrella was a tangled mess
You were washed up on the glittering shoals
Looking for another crime to confess
You bribed yourself out of a place in the sun
But you had some change to spare
So you said you want to spend it on me
And shook the blues out of your hair
[Chorus]
Ooh, such a beautiful way
To break your heart
Ooh, such a beautiful way
To break my heart

[Post-Chorus]
There's someone calling your name
You're going to miss that train

[Chorus]
Ooh, such a beautiful way
To break your heart
Ooh, such a beautiful way
To break my heart

[Post-Chorus]
There's someone calling your name
It's driving you insane
