Lyrics
Verse 1
Where are all the beautiful people
The ones you see in the magazines
They’re so cool and so appealing
They smile at you with perfect teeth
Chorus 1
They’re up there looking down
From the billboards looking down
Why don’t we see them
Why don’t we see them on the street
Verse 2
Where are all the beautiful people
The ones you read about in books
They've got all the perfect answers
From cover to cover perfect looks
Chorus 2
They’re down there in the pages
Talking back from the pages
Why don’t we hear them
Why don’t we hear them on the street
Bridge
You can see them any time you want
You can see them any time
You want...to stop and look
Verse 3
Where are all the beautiful people
They’re not in the magazines
They’re down here on the pavement
They're wearing frowns and wearing jeans
Coda
You can see them any time you want
You can see them any time
You want...to stop and look
