The Ugliness of Others Lyrics

With an old friend at Danny's Tavern

I'm in my best unstable

She says "You look the same man

Though shorter and less faithful"

And wine and trust and laughter

At my age a bother

What I'm really after

Is the ugliness of others

Oh my perfect lover

I'm happy that you're home

In the ugliness of others

And not my own

I'm by myself all day long

I've become more settled

Don't need to climb out of the swamp

Just bring it up a level

I "make love" for tradition

I don't believe or wonder

For I see in all positions

The ugliness of others

Oh my perfect lover

I'm happy that you're home

In the ugliness of others

And not my own

Life went by while I learned to

Turn out my share of shit

Have I strayed from the Path of Virtue?

Or have I walked right into it?

So this wild panicked drunk

In fact just longs for daycare

I worked hard to get off Planet Clunk

I work harder now to stay there

Oh my perfect lover

I'm happy that you're home

In the ugliness of others

And not my own
