Arm in arm on the boulevard   Speaking the language that only we know   I'll brush an eyelash from your cheek   I know they'll write books about you   And oh! the crowds and the joyful faces   These people are just backdrop to us   You and I don't even think like they do   You and I we're like a different species      Like Romeo and Juliet   In a bunker, shot through the head   Everything will be beautiful   Everything will be beautiful      Affairs of state and of the heart   I love it when you speak so passionately   We understand how music works   You understand what you mean to me   And oh! the indescribable beauty   Of a million hands raised to salute you   Like poppies lean when winds caress them   Cut flowers pressed to solemn duty      Like Romeo and Juliet   In a bunker, shot through the head   Everything will be beautiful   Everything will be beautiful      This epoch, this century,   These people and this infamy   Where once there was a single summer   That never seemed to turn.
