commentary
"The tape recorder mumblings at the beginning [of the original version] are from my dictaphone recording of the song before it was much of anything. I really like Chuck Norman’s touches on this version; it may be the closest you’ll ever hear me come to ripping off Eminem. Another revisitation for Indiana; I prefer the later versions, but you can judge for yourself."
lyrics

all your beauty is hard to explain
dancing shadows and light on your face
every kiss in the world wouldn't make you feel better

what a pity to paint in your lines
nothing's in me that's worth one more rhyme
could it be that were both just slaves to the weather

beauty where to find it
can't be far
beauty where you hiding
tell me, i'll go where you are

maybe martha was right when she said
beauty colors the face of the dead
it made me wish we were back in our beds sleeping soundly
our cheeks blushing red

beauty where to find it
can't be far
beauty where you hiding
tell me, i'll go where you are

'cos every tear your silly eye bleeds
well never fear, you never may see worse than this
i want to find a beautiful place
but maybe i forgot about today now, here

beauty where to find it
can't be far
beauty where you hiding
tell me, i'll go where you are
