Beauty to Disaster" is a song that Amy Ray did solo, and very

rarely. On the only performance that I'm aware of (Chapel Hill, NC,

on 26 April 1988) she intruduced it as "an obscure tune" that she'd

only done once in her life. In fact, her comments lead me to believe

that she may not have written it, but nobody I know knows who did.

If ANYONE out there knows, please tell me about it.



Beauty to Disaster.



I cried the night you left me

I never cried so hard

I never felt so helpless

Except the night that we made love



From beauty to disaster

I held you in my arms

Long enough to reach around you

To keep my fingers warm



Through egos, bars, and pills

You kept me in my place

You saved me from this spotlight

Well, I guess I'm living in disgrace



From beauty to disaster

I held you in my arms

Long enough to reach around you

To keep my fingers warm



I wonder, how is California?

Is it the blonde-haired, blue-eyed life?

Is it okay for me to ask you

Do you have a husband or a wife?



From beauty to disaster

I never cried so hard

I never felt so helpless

I cried with all my might
