I said, why you people such an ugly place?

I said that anyone would think you came from outer space

She held her skin to yours

So when they brought you out

You've ruined all that she had left

But ain't that obvious now?

Babe, babe, babe, you can't never die

I said, your daddy's gonna buy you a big, black ride

See the barelegged children by the side of the road

I get to feeling so low, low, low, low, and, Lord, I know not why

Hey, I lived in the country but I had to leave

I went down, lived to the seaside in the lap of ease

It was like salt in my wounds

Man, I won't ever be free

Though alone, drunk on a beach

Ain't such a bad way to be

Babe, babe, babe, you can't never die

I said, your daddy's gonna buy you a big, black ride

You see the barelegged children by the side of the road

I get to feeling so low, low, low, low, and, Lord, I know not why
