The Wild, The Beautiful & The Damned - Ultravox

Calling cards of madness

Pull the brass men from their knees

To petrify more images to dangle

Just outside the reach

Of the stunted and the dreamless ones

Who have nothing left to keep

For frozen dawns or nights

As cold as these have been

Don’t ask for explanations

There’s nothing left you’d understand

You’re one of the wild, the beautiful and the damned, the damned

The wild, the beautiful and the damned

We read the latest venereal journals

Flicked through some catalogs of fear

You tore some more pages

From your old lovers hearts

Then we engineered a wild reunion

In a Berlin Alleyway

While your New York Fuhrer

Tore our universe apart

Don’t ask for explanations

There’s nothing left you’d understand

You’re one of the wild, the beautiful and the damned, the damned

The wild, the beautiful and the damned

Break my legs politely

I’ll spit my gold teeth out at you

Your sores are almost big enough

To step right inside now

I’ll send you truckloads of flowers

From all the worlds that you stole from me

I’ll spin a coin in the madhouse

While I watch you drowning

Don’t ask for explanations

There’s nothing left you’d understand

You’re one of the wild, the beautiful and the damned, the damned

The wild, the beautiful and the damned, the damned

The wild, the beautiful and the damned, the damned

The wild, the beautiful and the damned, the damned

The wild, the beautiful and the damned

The wild, the beautiful and the damned
