[Chorus, Tweedles & Carla Fabrizo]
Ugly at the end
Ugly at the end
It's lovely when it blooms
But ugly at the end

Ugly at the end
Ugly at the end
It's lovely when it blooms
But ugly at the end

[Verse 1, Tweedles]
So my mom died
It wasn’t pretty
Yeah, it was about as far from pretty as you can get and still be on the goddam planet
I couldn’t stop thinking about it, though
Because as much as she criticized me and my "lifestyle,” I kept thinking that her life and death was just like one of my “relationships” –
To use a word I hate

[Chorus, Tweedles & Carla Fabrizo]
Ugly at the end
Ugly at the end
It's lovely when it blooms
But ugly at the end

[Verse 2, Tweedles]
Life
Life is just so lovely when it starts
And the expectations are so unlimited
Like at the beginning of a vacation or buying a new car
Just like my mom when I look at her baby pictures
With her mother beaming and her dad so proud
Then it changes
And changes
And changes some more
Gathering more and more momentum as it rumbles and stumbles down the path to ultimate ugliness
Of course, with relationships, when it gets ugly, I just move on
There’s always another one
But with people, it gets ugly, and then you die
She was a bitch, but I miss her
