The Ugly Blues (2023 Album ReMaster) Lyrics

When I wake up every mornin'

I hardly ever slept much as I need

'Cause that same nightmare every night

Makes me jump right outta bed onto my feet

I have this dream of beautiful music when all of a sudden

It turns into The Ugly Blues

I turn on the radio

There's plenty FM channels of my choice

But no matter what I tune it to

Soon I will hear the Devil's voice

Choking the sound of beautiful music - oh no!

It turns into The Ugly Blues

A lovely little melody

Gettin' killed by twelve bars of terror

Sweet sweet heavenly music

Then the sound of creation's greatest error

I once had a date with a fine lady

After dinner we went out for a walk

I really enjoyed the time we had until

Until there was that change in her talk

She opened up her mouth ever so wide and out of it - ugh!

There came The Ugly Blues

Now listen what she said

A lovely little melody

Gettin' killed by twelve bars of terror

Sweet sweet heavenly music

Then the sound of creation's greatest error

I woke up this mornin'

It was weird 'cause I hadn't had that dream

Had been sleepin' for hours and hours

And somethin' was very wrong it seemed

I went to the bathroom, took a look in the mirror

But what I saw there was the consummate horror, it was horror

A face that was twisted, wrinkled and hollow - Oh No!

I had turned into The Ugly Blues
