Get me an ugly wife – no man will look twice
I can fall asleep at night and dream of someone else
I found an ugly wife and she'd led an ugly life
Take my hand, this ray of hope, crawl out of this hole
She weaved her spell on me and I fell hopelessly
I swore to put it right – I blessed her every night
Tried to put the truth away – cruel water finds it's line
Cruel mouths are open wide, dark secrets look for light
I ran back to the flat and found her hanging there
Silk nightdress, fallen chair, I found her hanging there
Wait til the end turns white
I closed my eyelids tight
Here comes the blinding light
This light will guide my life
