Brand New Beau

I was under the distinct impression
I relied on the speed of sound
(Hold me down)
It was snowing, so they canceled my flight

The way you touched me I had no suspicions
Made me sure of everything
I relied on the speed of sound
Made me sure of everything
Two empty glasses in the dim candlelight
I walked in it was just around midnight
But now, what can I believe in?
Gravity used to hold me down

I can't believe this is happening
(I think it's time to go)
I used to know that the world was round
(What can I believe?)
But now, what can I believe in?

(Amanda)
But evidently you've no inhibitions
(We're sorry to announce)
(The world was round)
Made me sure of everything

You and your brand new beau
(Everything)

Your body took you on a covert mission

But now, what can I believe in?

You were the constant one true thing
(One true thing)
But now, what can I believe in?
(Speed of sound)

You and your brand new beau

I can't believe this is happening
Why am I the last to know?

(No, no, no)
(I think it's time to go)

(Speed of sound)
I used to know that the world was round
(Tick tock, tick tock)
I used to know that the world was round
I thought I was your queen
Made me sure of everything
(Everything)
(Hold me down)
(Speed of sound)
You were the constant one true thing

(What can I believe?)
(Everything)
I used to know that the world was round
And not pulled the rug out from under me

You and your brand new beau
(What can I believe?)

(Wasn't I, wasn't I?)

You were the constant one true thing
I heard you mention my name
(One true thing)
You were the constant one true thing
You and your brand new beau
Made me sure of everything
(One true thing)
(Hold me down)

And then I heard another voice that shocked me
Gravity used to hold me down
(Speed of sound)
Gravity used to hold me down
I relied on the speed of sound
(Hold me down)
I can't believe this is happening
I can't believe this is happening
Gravity used to hold me down

(I think it's time to go)
(The world was round)
(I think it's time to go)
(One true thing)

(Hold me down)
I can't believe this is happening
But now, what can I believe in?
(The way you touch)
(The world was round)
(Speed of sound)
You were the constant one true thing

(What can I believe?)
(I think it's time to go)
He saw my face and then you tried to block me
You and your brand new beau

(Everything)
(Everything)
(One true thing)
This truth is stranger than fiction

I relied on the speed of sound

But you've got a certain predilection
You could have offered me some dignity

I relied on the speed of sound

That we were swingin' in the same direction
My life won't ever be the same
Gravity used to hold me down
I thought I was your queen
(What can I believe?)
He was saying, "Is the front door locked?"
(The world was round)
