Searchlights on the skyline
just looking for a friend
who's gonna love my baby
when she's gone around the bend
egyptian bells are ringing
when it's her birthday
sweet nothin', i'm talking about you
there's a hurricane blowing your way
ooh such a beautiful way
to break your heart
ooh such a beautiful way
to break your heart
there's someone calling your name
it's driving you insane

you were wearing that stained raincoat
and your umbrella was a tangled mess
you were washed up on the glittering shoals
looking for another crime to confess
you bribed yourself
out of a place in the sun
but you had some change to spare
so you said you wanna spend it on me
and shook the blues out of your hair

ooh such a beautiful way
to break your heart
ooh such a beautiful way
to break your heart
there's someone calling your name
you're gonna miss that train
