Píseň: Sugar Sugar Sugar

Interpret:
Nick Cave
Album:
Tender Prey
Sugar Sugar Sugar
That man is bad
The road he drives you down
O sugar its a drag


That road it twists
That road is crossed
Its down that road
A lot of little girls go lost


Sugar Sugar Sugar
Keep on driving on
Until the City of right
Becomes the City of wrong


That stretch is long
You'll sleep and slide
That stretch will find you
Gagged and tied


The hunter lies
In a lowly ditch
His eyes they sting
And his fingers twitch


You'll be his queen for the night
But the morning you'll wake
With the Lords and high ladies
Of the bottom of the lake


Sugar sugar sugar
That man is wild


And sugar, you know
That you're merely a child


He will laugh
And hang your sheets to see
The tokens of your virginity


Sugar sugar sugar
Honey you're so sweet
And beside you baby
Nothing can complete


Sugar sugar sugar
Honey your so sweet
But beside you baby
A bad man sleeps


You better pray baby
Pray baby, pray baby


You better pray
You better pray, baby
Pray, baby, pray baby
You better pray baby


Sugar sugar sugar
That man is bad
And that's the bottom baby
Coming right up ahead


You can smell his fear
You can smell his love
As he wipes his mouth
On your altar cloth


Sugar sugar sugar
Try to understand
I'm an angel of God
I'm your guardian


He smells you innocence
And like a dog he comes
And like all the dogs he is
I shut him down


Sugar sugar sugar
I can't explain
Must I kill that cocksucker
Everyday


You better pray baby, pray baby, pray baby
You better pray your daddy he ain't far away
You better pray baby pray baby pray baby
You better pray your daddy's come to take you away
You better pray baby, pray baby, pray baby
You better pray o tender prey baby tender prey
You better pray tender pray baby tender prey
