The heart is a bloom, shoots up through stony ground
But there's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place / Always
Someone you could lend a hand in return for bass / Always

It's a beautiful day / (Day) Down
Sky falls, you feel like it's a beautiful day / (Day) Down
(Day)

You're on the road but you've got no destination
You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town, even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over and it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day / (Day) Down
Don't let it get away / (Day) Down
Beautiful day, woo hoo hoo / (Day) Down, (Day) Down

Touch me, take me to that other place
Teach me love, I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by a cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And, see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood, the colours came out
(Day) Down
(Day) Day

It was a beautiful day / (Day) Down
Don't let it get away / (Day) Down
Beautiful Day / (Day) Down, (Day) Down

Touch me, take me to that other place
Teach me love, I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

Beautiful day
