Lyrics:
The searchlight's 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
A 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 my 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 want to 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 my heart
There's someone calling your name
You're gonna miss that train

Ooh such a beautiful way to break your heart
Ooh such a beautiful way to break my heart
There's someone calling your name
It's driving you insane
