Brand New Beau

(album: Everybody's Got A Story - 2001)

[CHORUS]
I used to know that the world was round
I relied on the speed of sound
Gravity used to hold me down
But now, what can I believe in?
You were the constant one true thing
You made me sure of everything
I can't believe this is happening
You and your brand new beau (I think it's time to go)

I was under the distinct impression
That we were swinging in the same direction
But you've got a predilection
This truth is stranger than fiction
The way you touched me, I had no suspicions
But evidently, you've no inhibitions
Your body took you on a covert mission
Why am I the last to know?

[CHORUS]

I walked in it was just around midnight
It was snowing, so they canceled my flight
Two empty glasses in the dim candlelight
I heard you mention my name
And then I heard another voice that shocked me
He was saying "is the front door locked?"
He saw my face and you tried to block me
My life won't every be the same

[CHORUS]

You could have offered me some dignity
And not pulled the rug out from under me
I thought I was your queen
I thought I was your queen

[CHORUS X2]
