about

"U.G.L.Y." is the second single off my upcoming 2022 LP, "Love, Dan." The song is the quirkiest, most melodic track I've released to date and sounds essentially nothing like my prior material. Hope you all enjoy the new direction!

lyrics

‘Cause I don’t want no drama.
Ain’t had no trauma that can’t be beat.
So can I just be happy?
Don’t see no reason why that can’t be.

I wonder if they even hear
You bitch when it’s been a couple years
And you’re still Uber’ing home
For New Year’s Eve alone.
You learn what kind of friends are true,
Who’ll give you an hour or two,
Or a hug or three,
Play shrink for free.

‘Cause they can see
You ain’t having luck with therapy.

Dice Clay’s as old as my pop.
By now you’d think he’d stop
Greasing his hair,
But that’s how he sold out Madison Square.
The man found his schtick.
It made his life its bitch.
Who is he without the leather vest?
Who am I if I don’t sing regret?
-
Who am I if I don’t endear
Myself to my peers?
If I have to cop to the fact
That I’m the one slamming snacks
And I’m sick again ‘cause I’m sad?
Or am I sad ‘cause I’m sick? I’ve had
All the meat there was on that bone,
But I’m still chomping at it alone.

Oh, shit gets U.G.L.Y.
When you ain’t got no alibi.

I I, I IIIIIII
When you ain’t got no alibi.

[Oh, oh, oh. Oh, ohhhh.
You ain’t got no alibi] ^n
Oh, it gets U.G.L.Y.
When you ain’t got no alibi.

He wasn’t the Dice Man yesterday
Or the day before, I’m afraid.
We’ve both had some time
To realize that shades blind.
When I’m fifty-eight
Will I be sitting straight?
Or taking hits til I’m slouched,
As if these things get fixed from the couch.

It gets U.G.L.Y.
When you ain’t got no alibis.

[Oh, oh, oh. Oh, ohhhh.
You ain’t got no alibi] ^n
Oh, it gets U.G.L.Y.
When you ain’t got no alibi.
