I said, why d'you people such an ugly place?
I said that anyone would think you came from outer space
She held her skin to yours, 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
Your daddy's gonna buy you a big black ride
See the bare legged children by the side of the road
I get to feeling so low low low low low, and Lord, I know not why!
I lived in the country but I had to leave
I went down, lived by the sea side 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
Your daddy's gonna buy you a big black ride
See the bare legged children by the side of the road
I get to feeling so low low low low low, and Lord, I know not why!
