The Ugly Club - David Foster Wallace lyrics

rate me

Where we goin'?

Are we guessin'?

We find ourselves

Right here again

On a holiday.

You're heavy swimmin'

With a shark bite sinkin' in

The television might

Haunt my sleep tonight

If I let it.

You're eatin' roses

Digesting beauty just because.

Paid like a peasant

Lost in love

I got no money.

Ahh where we goin'?

Cos I've been wishin'

That chemically

We'd fall asleep

And never wake

For the open curtain dream.

There ain't no show

Like the one I know

Get caught just listenin'

When I wake up

I find it hard to walk away.

Temptation is glowin'

Darlin we let it go

Oh oh oh

Too far to rewrite the wrong

Put it down, little honey

Get down.

You think it's push and shove

Round here

I think you try too much.

You gotta get your fix

Where your ambition is

Will only bring you down.

We used to think (think)

We had it all controlled.

Up to our necks (necks)

We're being sold.

We used to think (think)

Without a broken signal

Lagging in the mud.

What we go through

Is no surprise

I only fear where

We're headin'.

No mystery

No smoke screen

Our demise

Is the high

We'll be gettin'.

CHORUS
