Sugar Sugar Sugar

Nick Cave and the bad seeds

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 cocks*cker
 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
