The Blues of Ugly People

Ugly people We living in a world with a hole in it We living life ugly But we make the world go round Would you think I was hopeless If I led you astray with a song Whom else are you willing to cope with I’ve gone missing within your arms The future It won’t be here to grace your face And tomorrow just won’t take you in Don’t you love your poets Writers from within your storm Tenderly, I’ve grown so cold That my days no longer keep me warm Capsuled in a city of dreary moments And I’m hearing there’s more a coming As indecent as a man who knows not to feel Searching for a wagon wheel Up from midnight and on until Why don’t you sing with me See how much time we can kill We’re just ugly people Living in a world with a hole in it Don’t you love this ugly person I don’t do much at all Just doing my part, living life ugly But I make the world go round “It’s lovely isn’t it Ugly people, We’re beautiful aren’t we”
