Beverly’s got a smiling face when I see her there with my naked eye
Just come to life to check the time
Looks at me like a steamy bath and I wash my face and I let it dry
Lifting the mask off a dirty mind
Sometimes she really gets her hands tied - in fact it happens all the time
And she’s always getting caught and always escaping
And she’s always mistaking me for someone else
I don’t blame her though I do it myself
I walk around wishing I was somewhere else
I’m dead scared of winning
Beverly’s got a dead straight face and she sees the world through narrowed eyes
Maybe she needs glasses in her mind
Or perhaps she needs another limb to replace the one that got cut off when
The lights had changed and she was colourblind
Sometimes she really gets her hands tied - in fact it happens more and more
And she’s always getting caught and always escaping
And she’s always mistaking me for someone else
I don’t blame her though I do it myself
I walk around wishing I was someone else
I’m dead scared of women
Beverly’s got sunken eyes and she walks around my room at night
