[Intro]
Beautiful, beautiful

[Verse 1]
I'm losing my way in this night
Walking away from the light
Surrender will be my escape
Breaking the walls of my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm one step ahead of the truth
I hear what I want to hear and I hear you

[Chorus]
And if I lie with you long enough
I can see the things I'm dreaming of
Let's go through the ritual
Until everything is beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful

[Verse 2]
I'm getting a taste for this high
For bending the rules of what's right
When fooling myself feels so sweet
Reality looks black and white

[Pre-Chorus]
Pulling the ripcord, I dive
It's a cardboard kingdom
But it makes me feel that

[Chorus]
If I lie with you long enough
I can see the things I'm dreaming of
Let's go through the ritual
Until everything is beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful

[Bridge]
And now I'm traveling at such blissful speed
No need to think at this velocity
The things I fear begin to fade to black
Now I've burned my map and I won't go back

[Chorus]
'Cause if I lie with you long enough
I can see the things I'm dreaming of
Let's go through the ritual
Until everything is beautiful
And if I lie with you long enough
I can see the things I'm dreaming of
So let's go through the ritual
Until everything is beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

Kylie Minogue is an Australian singer, songwriter, and actress. Often referred to as the Goddess of Pop with a career spanning over 30 years, she has transformed from girl-next-door soap star to ‘90s pop starlet, and short-lived indie darling to bona fide superstar.

Kylie earned her first big break on the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Mitchell. An on-screen romance with Jason Donovan – who played Scott Robinson – blossomed into a real-life relationship, and their wedding on the soap drew in millions of viewers. However, her real ambition was a successful career in music, and by 1988 her debut album, Kylie, was released, reaching #1 in the UK and Australia. Notching up 10 UK Top 3 singles by 1993, she was one of the defining popstars of the early ‘90s. Her follow-ups to the debut album – Enjoy Yourself, Rhythm of Love and Let’s Get To It – all reached the Top 15 in the UK.

With a blossoming relationship with late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, Kylie was encouraged to be more ambitious with her image and sound. As such, she left her former label, PWL, and released the daring “Confide In Me” in early 1994. Critics praised her re-invention, and the single restored the success she had somewhat lost with her previous album. Impossible Princess was another critical success but failed to make much of an impact on the charts, which led some media outlets to believe that her “15 minutes of fame” were over.
