Ugly-Pretty Lyrics

Pretty
Let's cease this long-time mockery
Without distraught there's no beauty
You're both resplendent ans rusty
Rusty

Pretty
Was your red mouth overflowing
The lightning's path under your skin
The veins that flowed over your chin
Your chin

These flowers are sold (are sold)
This lover is cold (is cold)
The hour is gone (is gone)
The colour is wrong (is wrong)
And I, I want more (want more)
Than just a sip (than just a sip) of it all (of it all)

Ugly
Is the black flag you wave at me
Nausea to make history
You think I'm lost, you just tease me
Tease me

Klaus was
The closest one to embody
This sharpest taste, ugly-pretty
It was for love and love only
Only

These flowers are sold (are sold)
This lover is cold (is cold)
The hour is gone (is gone)
The color is wrong (is wrong)
And I, I want more (want more)
Than just a sip (than just a sip) of it all (of it all)

Ils ont insisté pour me montrer une vidéo
Où les visages s'effondraient
À cause de la mauvaise connexion
Où les pénétrations en gros plan
Promettaient des gouffres
J'ai pensé aux creux sur ta peau
J'ai pensé aux creux sur ta peau

These flowers are sold (are sold)
This lover is cold (is cold)
The hour is gone (is gone)
The color is wrong (is wrong)
And I, I want more (want more)
Than just a sip (than just a sip) of it all (of it all)
