lyrics

Ordinary suits the day
Dozing into night
An ordinary shade of gray
Commonplace
One red silken whisper
Over the crowd and the noise
One look, smoldering
And she can play them like toys

When a beautiful girl walks into a room
Everyone knows, and the room centers ‘round her
Wherever she goes
She’s a beautiful girl
Now she’s looking at you
You can deny it
But you want her too

Awakens the animal in us
Intrigue and mystery
And at the same time dangerous
Like we’re stranded out at sea
She’s like lightening strike
Thundering out her siren’s call
The beauty of the storm
God save us all

When a beautiful girl walks into a room
Everyone knows that the room’s seen its rose
She’s a beautiful girl
Now she’s looking at you
You can deny it
But you want her too

Bridge:
One fine lady in a lofty tower
Could let her hair down
But stays out of our reach
Agony beyond power of speech
Agony beyond power of speech
No one questions we’d climb a mountain
No one’s surprised we’d swim the sea
I’d crawl miles straight through the desert
Miles of sand all on my knees
Just for the chance that girl might happen to me
