Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Sugar Sugar Sugar lyrics

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
