Dirty Beautiful World

Sometimes, I think if we let it,

this living might skin us alive.

Wading our way thru all the good and the evil;

takes some doing if you’re gonna survive.

Some days I can feel the balance;

some days I can’t feel nothing at all.

But every day your hand’s on my shoulder’s a

day I know I ain’t gonna fall.

Well, it’s a dirty, beautiful world,

but it’s good living in it with you, my girl.

 SOLO

The seasons change, and my feelings range

from light to dark to grey.

Trying towards truth in a relative world;

but what is real truth, and really who’s to say?

The joy and the sorrow rarely meet in the middle,

so it seems that’s our job to do.

That and giving this heavenly hell the finger, and do it

laughing cuz that’s just me and you.

Well, it’s a dirty, beautiful world,

but it’s good living in it with you, my girl.

It’s a dirty, beautiful world,

but it’s good living in it with you, my girl.

It’s a dirty, beautiful world …
