The Most Beautiful Girl - Roger Waters

Written by：Roger Waters

She may well have been the most beautiful girl in the world

Her life snuffed out like a bulldozer crushing a pearl

The secret committee deep in its lair

Conveniently far from the cold desert air

Puts a tick in a box turns the key in a lock

To loosen the buns in her hair

Sleep if you can wrapped safe in your cloak

The tumbledown twilight Havana smoke caught in your throat

Mistress liberty's dance held you in its trance

Her bosoms were loaded with nectar and lances

Well boy she said you have broken the trust

Hold on to that stick if you must

Take a fresh grip on the crucible rune

The patchwork of ashes sweeps away love like a broom

Madness comes down like the crackpot of ages

The raging of angels cathedral of stars

Christopher Robin says Alice go home now

They're no longer changing the guard

Hold on she said you're breaking my heart

It's weird how the steel rails disappear into the dark

They clung to the ivory tower on her braids

They were never afraid of falling

But the bomb hit the spot where the numbers all stop

And the last thing they heard was her calling home

I'm coming home

I'm the life that you gave

I'm the children you saved

I'm the promise you made

I'm the woman you crave

So hold on I'm coming home

Hold on I'm coming home
