[Verse 1]
Why are we so obsessed with cutting skin
When the real things in our lives can't get in?
Marching to the same drum
Every single beat's gone
I can hear the dark days coming
Another generation fighting for attention
Can't you see I'm tired of running?

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a house in the forest
Where her days are forgotten
By the lake, she dropped her dreams
And now they've sunk to the bottom

[Chorus]
Oh, beauty queen!
It's only skin deep, only thin sheets
There's no audience
Oh, beauty queen!
Something's telling me
That you were never meant to be trapped in time

[Verse 2]
Why are we holding hands like paper chains?
Why are we so content to stay the same?
Marching to the same drum
Every single beat's gone
I can hear the dark days coming
Another generation fighting for attention
Can't you see I'm tired of running?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
There's a girl I remember
Who was everyone's dream
Now her face has become her
It's the saddest thing you'll ever see

[Chorus]
Oh, beauty queen!
It's only skin deep, only thin sheets
There's no audience
Oh, beauty queen!
Something's telling me
That you were never meant to be trapped in time

[Bridge]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a house in the forest
Where her days are forgotten
By the lake, she dropped her dreams
And now they've sunk to the bottom
[Bridge]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Chorus]
Oh, beauty queen!
It's only skin deep, only thin sheets
There's no audience
Oh, beauty queen!
Something's telling me
That you were never meant to be trapped in time
