Lovely Ugly Oddity

Dance for me, stranger, on the side of the street
Like you do each bitter morning not amended by caffeine
You're a spectacle shunned in general
Or a backwards form of comfort
As they drive off towards another queue
Soothed in knowing they're not you

So light, stay red, I need this
Light, stay red, I need this

Dance for me, you lunatic
You lovely, ugly oddity
Each evening while I'm wishing I
Would just shut down for good
They might shrug and mumble "drugs"
As they set out for their nightcaps
Yet I yearn to watch your movements
Wishing I were more like you

So light stay red (I theorize he knows it's a ride)
I need this (Meaningless 'til meaning is applied)
Light stay red (Or maybe he's just mental but)
I need this (Still he's much happier than I)

You're a lovely ugly oddity
Lovely, ugly, just like me

Dance for me, stranger, as the sun is dipping down
Each stride is an invitation to increase in animation
We will never exchange stories
You're a figure from afar
But at least I know who you are
But at least I know who you are
But at least I know who you are
Who you are, who you are

So light stay red (I theorize he knows it's a ride)
I need this (Meaningless 'til meaning is applied)
Light stay red (Or maybe he's just mental but)
I need this (Still he's much happier than I)
