neil young - natural beauty lyrics

on the roller coaster ride
that my emotions have to take me on
i heard a newborn baby cry
through the night.

i heard a perfect echo die
into an anonymous wall
of digital sound
somewhere deep inside
of my soul.

a natural beauty should be preserved
like a monument to nature
don't judge yourself too harsh,
my love
or someday you might find
your soul endangered
a natural beauty should be preserved
like a monument to nature.

amazon
you had so much
and now so much is gone
what are you gonna do
with your life?

what a lucky man.
to see the earth
before it touched his hand
what an angry fool
to condemn.

one more night to go
one more sleep
upon your burning banks
a greedy man never knows
what he's done.

a natural beauty should be preserved
like a monument to nature
don't start yourself too short,
my love
or someday you might find
your soul endangered
a natural beauty should be preserved
like a monument to nature.

went to the rodeo today
i saw the cowgirls
lined up on the fence
a brand new chevrolet
a brand new pair of seamless pants.

we watched the moment of defeat
played back over on the video screen
somewhere deep inside
of my soul.

a natural beauty should be preserved
like a monument to nature.
