Well it's an ugly fashion town

And I don't want to get you down

But it's an ugly place to live



The boys and girls look so serene

In their professionally torn jeans

But their smiles are insincere



Well it's an ugly fashion town

And the people who mill around

Seem to share a vacant stare

As they walk across the village square



There's a marina and a mall

Where you can see them on the pull

In their silken padded shirts



The chimneys bellow grisly smoke

And the freeways are choked

It's such an ugly place to live



There's a marina and a mall

Where you can see them on the pull

In their floral pleated skirts



Well it's an ugly fashion town

And I don't want to settle down

I'm getting the first train west

I can almost feel the sweet clean air

Returning to my chest
