Ugly Beauty

Woman of my dreams, so blond and beautiful I just got to have that lady, so sweet and dressed to kill We went out on a date I took here to my place She whispered in my ear She'd do anything for me When she got undressed I found to my surprise Padded bra and cotton stuffing, a whig and jelly thighs She was not what she was cracked up to be [Chorus]: What you see is awful beauty Don't you be a sucker for some gaudy illusion What you get is pretty ugly Look behind the picture for a different conclusion Going on a trip, I've got to get away Makes me feel so free and easy when I lay myself a line No troubles anymore I float above the floor But now I'm crashing down The world is spinning round Need another kick, I got the Junkie blues Down and out I feel like dying, my mind is so confused Lies and self-delusion, heaven is hell [Chorus] What you see is awful beauty Don't you be a sucker for some gaudy illusion What you get is pretty ugly Look behind the picture for a different conclusion Everybody's dream, money and luxury All my wishes and desires, I buy 'em just like that Ten cars and twenty whores Wild parties, been galore A golden toilet seat But still I feel like shit Now I realize you can't buy happiness Everybody loves my money, but my life is a mess Everything that glistens need not be gold [Chorus]: What you see is awful beauty Don't you be a sucker for some gaudy illusion What you get is pretty ugly Look behind the picture for a different conclusion
