The Handsome Family - A Beautiful Thing

Don't you remember that snowy December When we went to see Singing In The Rain? I shouldn't have smuggled in that bottle of gin 'Cause after the film I could barely walk But darling, don't you know It's only human to want to kill A beautiful thing? When I was seven, summer lasted forever I used to chase fireflies through the woods Tidy green lights circling warm August nights I'd catch them inside a washed-out old jar I dreamed of the stars With a jar by my bed But each morning My pretty bugs were dead Oh, darling, don't you see It's only human to want to kill A beautiful thing? We should have been dancing like lovers in a movie But I fell and cut my head in the snow I wanted to tell you all the ways that I loved you But instead I got sick on the train But darling, don't you know It's only human to want to kill A beautiful thing? But darling, can't you see It's only human to want to kill A beautiful thing?
