Something in the smoke that you breathe Lets me know the deeper part of you It's in the way that you smile And flag down taxis on eighth avenue Little do you know that I'm watching you All the while, all the while Turn around and face me Face Me I heard you whisper in the librarian's ear "If you would come closer, I would walk with you, far or near, To this place that you have called your home." You were baffled by me, but I will please you.

I'd tell you all about me But there ain't that much to say I know that you might doubt me But be that as it may I've followed smilin' faces Wavin' 'round their flags 'Til I lost too many races Wound up with an empty bag Ugly Man Wearin' Blue Did you go to church today? Did you don your suit and pray? I don't know what to think About you and your concern I'd rather have a cold drink With you, I'd just get burned Alive in all this weariness Of fifty-cent perfumes Darling daughter now you know Chanel can't heal your wounds Ugly Man Wearin' Blue Do you ever tie your shoes? Would you like to buy some booze? Ugly Man Wearin' Blue Will you stay here for a while? Do you ever stop to smile? Well you're all a dime a dozen So I guess that I am too But I sure ain't your cousin Just an empty man cloaked in blue God knows I need relations But queenie you will not do Just leave me to myself Now that, I can screw Ugly man wearin' blue While you're talking to yourself I'll be taking all those things Stacked up upon your shelf Woolen coats, diamond rings See I've thought up a scheme By which both of us can gain A surgical procedure I mean transplanted brains Ugly man wearin' blue While you're starin' at the ground I'm gettin' married across town Ugly man wearin' blue

I'd tell you a story But it would bore you I don't know who you are But I adore you And I've walked so many miles But when you start to smile All my troubles melt away into nothin' If I offered you my heart Would you take it? And if I wanted your love Would you make it? And if I show you my room, Invite you into my gloom, Would you lie beside me dreamin' Or run away from me screamin'? Although I don't know much about you I'm finding it so hard to doubt you And in the end it only hurts And I'll still have my shirt But I know that I love you And if you smile, maybe I can too

Can you tell me why You're so grey today You're so bright and sharp and lazy But not crazy Careful lad, some knowledge I can do without All the time I hear you scream and shout What you feel can't be real If I can't understand what it's about You agreed when I decreed You'd give your all to my ambition You're no longer giving me what I need We're in a hurry No time to worry Just a mile to go You'll be back home No more to roam Is it buried deep inside you? How I tried to find you! Now I wish you'd go back in I will be informal It's perfectly normal You know nothing can be wrong If it's just hormonal Breathing air just like a thief You never shown a sense of grief Only from your own pathetic thoughts Do you seek relief Listen up, look in my eyes I've a simple proposition Just for you I've made a disguise It should help your condition OH MY GOD IT DOESN'T FIT YOU ROTTEN PIECE OF SHIT DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE STILL UGLY UNDER YOUR CLOTHES?

Will my fears ever leave? Will I be a success? Will be just a little bit better than the rest? Will the money roll in? Will I make the grade? Will I get everything back that I've paid? Who really cares? Who gives a damn? As long as I am breathing I'll make my own plan Will the grades be good? Will the savings hold out? Will I spend my whole life To win the bout? Will happiness prevail? Will love win the war? Will I end my life in bed with a whore? Who really cares? Who gives a shit? As long as I have my life I'll make it Will I live to be sixty? Will I fight the battle? Will I deliver love letters From my horse's saddle? Will I walk the streets, Will I speak the words, That makes me the man Who lives and learns? Who really cares? Who gives a damn? As long as I am living, I'll be who I am.

Sadder songs have since been sung And minstrel's tears been wrought The tussle for the nether rung Is rendered null from thought Souls worn thin have bent for breath And talents been unearthed Sons of man have vanquished death And triumphed in rebirth Rain has silenced quiet hearts And blankets thoughts of cold Love is lonely tortured art So Adam, he says Fold, and unfold Rain has silenced quiet hearts And blankets thoughts of cold Love is lonely tortured art So Adam, he says Fold, and unfold

My grandpa runs a country radio station And my daddy, he does the news My grandma, she's the secretary And my uncle does the news too

She loved me oh so dearly I didn't pay her any mind Sometimes I think within myself How could I've been so blind? And If I could change one part of my life I'd take her in my arms Speak softly about nothin' In the honey rays of dawn With love no words are needed Just the look in lovers' eyes And the simple confession of a touch Can make a grown man cry And If I could change one part of my life I'd take her in my arms Speak softly about nothin' In the honey rays of dawn I've passed it up more times Than I could care to write And I'm sick and tired of sayin' "Well maybe" and "just might" And If I could change one part of my life I'd take her in my arms Speak softly about nothin' In the honey rays of dawn Oh, god there's so many hearts to steal But not a one to care for that can move or think or feel So give me a reason to keep on Searchin' for a life When love brings life happiness And love ain't nowhere in sight And If I could change one part of my life I'd take her in my arms Speak softly about nothin' In the honey rays of dawn
