Ugly/Wicked/True Lyrics

You know you shouldn't mix your metaphors

The lights and all of the darks

But as you stumble out the door

You're holding out your heart on your sleeve

Just trying to tell them what you need

But then you fall

Silent

You know you shouldn't name your masterpiece

Off of someone that you know

You know they're gonna ask for royalties

But you were only trying to show them how

You've got them figured out

They'll have a smoke

With their reflection

So tell me will you say something

Something ugly

Something wicked

Something true

And if you fall

You better fall for something

Something better than the tricks they play on you

You finally gave them what they're asking for

When you got down on your knees

But then they kicked you down and asked for more

You started begging:

"Please understand

I am only just a man"

They grabbed you by the arm

Told you that's your fatal flaw

And like it or not

You'd better stand

And say something

Something ugly

Something wicked

Something true

And if you fall, you know

You better fall for something

Something better than those tricks they play on you
