Pretty Ugly, Pretty Sad |
I turned around to see the clown |
He made no sound, his face was down |
He was crying, dying to laugh another smile |
Down the empty avenues |
I stood inside his worn-out shoes |
I was flying, trying just to come down |
The circus crowd, cruel and proud |
Existing in the wilderness |
Minding their own business, of dying |
I turned around and they were gone |
I pulled my useless pity on |
It was morning, morning so pure and undefiled |
Inside my room a healing sea |
Nothing here makes sense to me |
There’s no warning, wanting just to come down |
At great expense, ladies and gents |
We bring you the greatest show |
You can take it with you when you go, lying |
Pretty ugly, pretty sad, pretty helpless, pretty glad |
Pretty angry, pretty mad, pretty ugly, pretty sad |
So now I wander through the days |
I wonder who designed this maze |
If it’s unending, sending out some kind of sign |
I turned around to see the clown |
I should have pulled the mirror down |
Now I’m pretending, extending my local in this town |
Ladies and gents, at great expense |
We bring you the greatest show |
Take it with you when you go, lying |
Pretty ugly, pretty sad, pretty helpless, pretty bad |
Pretty angry, pretty mad, pretty ugly, pretty sad |
