Lyrics:
She likes to dress like she's fresh out of a magazine
She struts around getting down to her record machine
It's clear that she enjoys teasing all the boys
They always say that you'll remember her name
Because she's got it, she's got it right down
And all the guys say
I need 3 spoons of sugar and a glassful of liqueur to get over you
Give me something in my coffee, give me thrills, take my money
Can't get over you
He don't get stressed 'cause he's blessed with the cut of his jeans
He looking tight washed superfine
If you know what I mean
He clearly gets his kicks getting messy with the chicks
They always say that you'll remember his name
Because he's got it, he's got it so so down
And all the girls say
I need 3 spoons of sugar and a glassful of liqueur to get over you
Give me something in my coffee, give me thrills, take my money
Can't get over you
I'm gonna need a whole lotta therapy to cure this sugar rush
I can't get over you
Give me something in my coffee, give me thrills, take my money
Can't get over you
And all the girls say
I need 3 spoons of sugar and a glassful of liqueur to get over you
Give me something in my coffee, give me thrills, take my money
Can't get over you
I'm gonna need a whole lotta therapy to cure this sugar rush
I can't get over you
Give me something in my coffee, give me thrills, take my money
Can't get over you
Shakin' sugar from a sugar spoon
Peppermint tea afternoon
Alone, alone, alone
Taking a shower take another nap
Watching television take a bath
Alone, alone, alone
Feel like a book, but I just cant start it
Feel like a lover, brokenhearted
Look in the mirror at the face in the glass
Look like a question no one ever asks
Alone
Like I'm supposed to be
Lone lonely alone
Like I'm supposed to be
Go for a walk, go for a drive
Listen to the stereo stay inside
Alone, alone, alone
Feel like a book, but I just cant start it
Feel like a lover, brokenhearted
Look in the mirror at the face in the glass
Look like a question no one ever asks
Alone
Like I'm supposed to be
Lone lonely alone
Like I'm supposed to be
Shakin' sugar from a tablespoon
bitter black coffee underneath the moon
Alone, alone, alone
Feel like a book with a big ghost heart
I didn't finish, I didn't start it
Look in the mirror at the face in the glass
Look like a question no one ever asks
Alone
Like I'm supposed to be
Lone lonely alone
Like I'm supposed to be

Suzy doesn't want to sleep tonight
Her mother wore her dress too tight
And Suzy's been up for too long
Ever since she
Heard the song
Southern girl from New Orleans
Took a trip she's not so clean
Daddy leaves his girl in bed
But after midnight's
Left unsaid
And now she's taken all his money
And she's bought a bunch of pills
Seeks out sugar
Spoons and junkies
Just to satisfy her thrills
Now she's left home in a minute
And she's taken daddy's gun
Robbed a dealer for his Molly
To try it for fun yeah
If Suzy goes to sleep tonight
She mightn't see the morning light
Cause Suzys had a hard hard time
But daddy thinks she's
All too fine
And now she's taken all his money
And she's bought a bunch of pills
Seeks out sugar, spoons and junkies
Just to satisfy her thrills
Now she's left home in a minute
And she's taken daddy's gun
Robbed a dealer for his Molly
To try it for fun
Who's gonna help
Someone help
Who's gonna help
I'll shake your shoulders, scream your name, until it wakes you up
Trust me, it's for the better
We used to like it but it's all for the better now
Like sugar spoon-fed until it's grown a little bitter
A new horizon holding out for the Son to win and carry the darkness away
how many times, swan
we got cold
you uncorked your wine
how far we drove drunk
on a car of paper charms
light drawing sun cartoons
sunday fairs and red ballons
how far we seemed to fly
calling life a sugar spoon
pain was a bird to fight
sending feathered sticky kites
through the night
spring saw us leaving
thinking to slide down a moony river
but reaching just a cardboard sea
the promised wonderland
cross the drums
battle sounds
soon we lost
our paper wings
knew the thirst
knew the pain
learned to walk
to the man
trying to stand
we composed
our best songs
iron shoes
tramped on us
mad fanfare
of dirty tunes
then we knew
taste of dust
learned to fight
to the man
shaking fists
we composed
our last songs
new every morning
our poems will turn with care
just like the sunflowers
cause we know the taste of time
how, how far we drove swan
from our fading paper town
far from your sticky moons
shiny kites and red ballons
your nowhere wonderland ...
Windows in a silent room, sunlight burns the walls to black
Angles and dimensions melt while colors drip and pillows crack
Reflections of my memories like pictures pasted on a sheet
The ribbon film of separate frames lying curled up at my feet
The film is just a snake design and the photographs are fading fast
These are not memories of mine I have no future, no past
I've seen a thousand afternoons dissolve into the night
Like sugar crystals on a spoon they disappear from sight
Gray days from the crispest morning to the warmest afternoon in this room
And I like to draw the face I saw so long ago
My image in the mirror tells the jagged lines which way to go
The black and white description of the sole survivor of the Holocaust
All the rest were lost
Do you see this paper face?
Who can I blame, when every office day is the same If it doesn’t change, I’ll find a like and find a hate
Tell them all what your mom told you Fake it till you make it through If your stomach turns hold it down When you were young you could hold the moon Now you’re singing a different tune White china girl, brown sugar spoon
Were on display, an asphyxia parade What can I change, shoot me into outer space
Tell them all what your mom told you Ziggy played the magic flute Your stomach turns while you spin around When you were young you could hold the moon Now you’re singing a different tune White china girl, brown sugar spoon
My, Look at what I did, if you gotta tough itch, try a hard switch, Zoe needs a lift, or get another gig, hold your breath and wish Just another day in the dirt and then Im gonna quit
Day will come something true for you now If you find it Break will come pull you through now Look away
Turn and turn again like you can’t stand this whole sham
Ziggy’s jam
Day will come something true for you now If you find it Break will come pull you through now Look away
Windows in a silent room, sunlight burns the walls to black
Angles and dimensions melt while colors drip and pillows crack
Reflections of my memories like pictures pasted on a sheet
The ribbon film of separate frames lying curled up at my feet
The film is just a snake design and the photographs are fading fast
These are not memories of mine I have no future, no past
I've seen a thousand afternoons dissolve into the night
Like sugar crystals on a spoon they disappear from sight
Gray days from the crispest morning to the warmest afternoon in this room
And I like to draw the face I saw so long ago
My image in the mirror tells the jagged lines which way to go
The black and white description of the sole survivor of the Holocaust
All the rest were lost
Do you see this paper face?

Caught a ride on a pink balloon
Left my worries way too soon
Floating up to a candy moon
Wishing on a sugar spoon
Stars are winking in neon hues
Spreading joy like bubblegum news
Twirling in these cotton shoes
Snapping fingers to morning blues
Dancing through this gummy dream
Life’s a lollipop with cream
Colors burst in rainbow steam
Everything's as sweet as it seems
Tickled by the fizzy skies
Chasing rainbows in disguise
Every step a sweet surprise
Bobbing in the cherry pies
Bounce with me on jelly beans
Happiness in tangerines
Sip the soda from magic streams
Smile in these sugary scenes
Dancing through this gummy dream
Life’s a lollipop with cream
Colors burst in rainbow steam
Everything's as sweet as it seems
Caught a ride on a pink balloon
Left my worries way too soon
Floating up to a candy moon
Wishing on a sugar spoon
Stars are winking in neon hues
Spreading joy like bubblegum news
Twirling in these cotton shoes
Snapping fingers to morning blues
Dancing through this gummy dream
Life’s a lollipop with cream
Colors burst in rainbow steam
Everything's as sweet as it seems
Tickled by the fizzy skies
Chasing rainbows in disguise
Every step a sweet surprise
Bobbing in the cherry pies
Bounce with me on jelly beans
Happiness in tangerines
Sip the soda from magic streams
Smile in these sugary scenes
Dancing through this gummy dream
Life’s a lollipop with cream
Colors burst in rainbow steam
Everything's as sweet as it seems
A paper pack of sugar a plastic spoon and knife
A paper cup a paper plate a different boy each night
I'm getting tired of a paper and a plastic world
One that's not a lasting world that's how I feel
I'm looking for a silver and a crystal world
Not an artificial world but one that's real
Shiny plastic flowers electronic steeple chimes
Seem to be becoming the symbols of our times
I'm looking for a simple sandy suntan world
Not a handy sunlamp world but one that is true
(I'm searching for) the kind and honest joy that I'll find in a boy like you
Three years of running
you'll be there by nine
That's a lot to take in, let it kick in
Shakin' it out, yeah
It's a whole lot to swallow
Sugar spoon to take it down
On the high life of loving
Or you'll dry on up
We're given hard-knock days again
And I'll be tripping days away
I been left with words I used to say
Living here with empty halls of fame
Moon down by the second
I get down with the current
Don't just leave me bone dry
(Don't just leave him bone dry)
Well you know I'm committed
But I dare not waste a dime
(You can see it in the light)
It's a lot to take in
A pill for every pain dragging you down, yeah
But it's a whole lot to swallow
But I can smooth it, take it down
For the hard life of loving, or we'll drown
I've been given hard-knock days again
And I'll be tripping days away
I'll be left with words I had to say
Left me with the empty halls of fame
Oval shape for marmalade
Many holes to spread on cake
Sprinkle with icing sugar spoon
So delicious! c tool that croons
c little piece of sugar on
Drip to drip the "green fairy" flows
The solution is ready to
Drink absinthe, the alcool of the fools
Sometimes, some people burn it
Easier to melt and inject it
The heroin is filed into the spoon
To reach the damned sky strewn
With old stars, soon
Every day in your coffee cup
Store in closet knife and fork
It caps the plate, highlight the glass
The old spoon was made of brass
Tappered, play, silver, stretched
Measure, weigh, dose, transfer
Curved, silver, stretched, tappered
Transfer, weigh, dose, measure
If you take two of them
cnd hod them both in your hand,
You can create an instrument
To make rhythm in a music band
When a baby's coming soon
cnd he can't get out of his mother's womb
Midwives take the delivery spoon
To help him breathe as fast as they could
Once upon a time, Jack Cucchiaio,
c poor doctor pursued by a ghost...
You act like you don't need nobody else
And you dance like you don't need nobody else
And all the other moths need light
To circle round while you just fly
Around yourself
Oh I stir my sugar with a spoon
And watch your white dress float around the room
I try to see what you're about
But even my candles are down and out
Honey why you gotta hide your face from me?
(My time is your time, there won't be a later)
What do you see when you close your eyes
Like royalty or magic numbers or
Popular opinion just to prove that you are right.
A sugar spoon feed in withdrawal
And still needing for more
I ask you why you try
The lights that guide you will burn and blind you.
Chorus:
I like my nights quiet, as dark as the moon,
My drink straight, no sugar, no spoon.
You're like sunshine, too bright for me,
You're too sweet, just let me be.
Verse 2:
I'm happiest when the world's asleep,
No calls, no texts, just peace to keep.
One pat, one pat, tenderize the chicken
Open up the fibers
One chop, one chop, make small cross cuts
Sever the tendons
Cut into one centimeter cubes
Square in each
Marinate, marinate, splash of cooking wine
A teaspoon of salt, mix to remove the game
Taste, add a tablespoon of starch
Keep mixing until it thickens
Coat evenly with starch, let it firm up
Prepare the compound sauce
Two flat spoons of sugar
Two spoons of vinegar
A spoon of cooking wine
A spoon of dark soy sauce
A hint of starch
A teaspoon of salt
A spoonful of water
Soak the sauce with ginger and scallions
Let it infuse the fragrance
Season, just a few minutes
Heat the wok, add oil, no splattering
Add the chicken by the side
Careful not to splatter
Heat the wok, add oil
Toss in Sichuan peppercorns and dried chili
Stir-fry until fragrant, chilies turn crimson
Toss in the soaked ginger and scallions
Aromatic delight
Add the chicken, stir-fry with compound sauce
Gently sway the wok until the sauce turns transparent
Drizzle in chili oil, add crunchy peanuts
A touch of MSG, mix it all evenly
Compound chicken ready to be served
I'm happy now
Jane is about 21
And she can rock the stage like no one
She takes her coffee and gets confused
In New Orleans with Bobby she sang the blues
Like the river running
Livin' it up her way
Praising glorious fields
Livin' it up her way
Knock on wood, stock the bourbon
Livin' it up her way
Oh hit the freedom
Light it up this way
Hush little girl blue
And please tell me what flows in your veins
Take all the pieces of your heart
Summertime will erase your pain
Like the river running
Livin' it up her way
Praising glorious fields
Livin' it up her way
Knock on wood, stock the bourbon
Livin' it up her way
Oh hit the freedom
Light it up this way
The crowd's calling your name
Sugar spoon, back in the game
She's fading away
Like the river running
Livin' it up her way
Praising glorious fields
Livin' it up her way
Knock on wood, stock the bourbon
Livin' it up her way
Oh hit the freedom
Light it up this way
The purple flowers are in bloom
The tiny ones close to the ground
At the perfect height to brush your shoes
It's the perfect time to notice how
The tea still tastes ever so sweetly
Even when it's been sitting out
Life it gets so hot and heavy
It's the perfect time to notice how
The perfect time to notice how
The blue sky in the dawning
And the loneliness of waking morn
The birds in conversation talking
And the pretty way the napkin tore
My favorite sugar spoon and mug
And the tink it makes when it hits the rim
The way I sink into my pillow snug
It's the perfect time to take it in
The tea still tastes ever so sweetly
Even when it's been sitting out
Life it gets so hot and heavy
It's the perfect time to notice how
The perfect time to notice how
The way my best friend blows her smoke
And all the roads we've driven down
I know these moments will not last
It's the perfect time to notice how
The perfect time to notice how
The tea still tastes ever so sweetly
Even when it's been sitting out
Life it gets so hot and heavy
It's the perfect time to notice how
The perfect time to notice how
The perfect time to notice how
Feel like flyin', baby, gonna take a rocket to the moon
Feel like flyin', baby, gonna take a rocket to the moon
Send somebody, baby, if I don't get back soon
When I come down, honey, landed in the middle of the sea
When I come down, honey, land me in the middle of the sea
I keep lookin' for my baby, I know she's watchin' out for me
Well, got it flyin' on streamline, it really ain't built for speed
Well, got it flyin' on streamline, it really ain't built for speed
Gotta rock it to my baby, I give her everything she needs
Well, it feel so good, her love is like a sugar on a spoon
Well, I'm crazy for my baby, she loves lickin' sugar from the spoon
When I'm flyin' with my baby, I'm out here on a rocket to the moon
Oh, gonna rock by the stars, sail by the sun
Rock it to my baby 'til my work is done
Keep rockin' you, baby, 'til the break of day
'Til the sound of your voice makes the stars go away
Feel like flyin', baby, gonna take a rocket to the moon
Won't you send somebody, baby, if I don't get back soon?
Little cup
Sugar baby spoon
Staying up
With a werewolf and the moon
Hanging' tough
Just please don't ask me where I've been
Playing rough
Fragile little bones
Staying up
In the smell of your new home
Where you come
And unravel like the fabric of our song
Say you won't ever leave, ever go, always stay
Through the changes the heart stays the same
Same as it's always been
What can I say?
IT AIN’T ABOUT THE MONEY
BROTHER I AIN’T MADE A DIME
NOW I WOULD LOVE TO HELP YOU
BUT I DON’T HAVE THE TIME
TAKE MY HOUSE BURN IT DOWN
SPIN MY HEAD ROUND AND ROUND
BURY MY HEART UNDERGROUND
RUIN MY NAME ALL OVER TOWN
BUT YOU’LL NEVER EVER CHANGE MY MIND
IT’S BEEN A LONG OL’ ROAD TO RUIN
DAYLIGHT I WILL FIND
IT’S NOT FOR ME TO DECIDE
IT’S NOT LIKE YOU TO LIE
LEAVE THE FEAR BEHIND YOU NOW
MY MY HOW THE GOOD TIMES FLY
SHE SAYS SUGAR WITH
SPOON FULLS OF SALT
IF I BURN OUT NOW IT’LL FALL APART
DON’T BLAME ME IF YOUR HEART RUNS COLD
I TRIED BEFORE TO WARN YOU
BUT IT WON’T LET ME GO
BUT YOU’LL NEVER EVER CHANGE MY MIND
IT’S BEEN A LONG OL’ ROAD TO RUIN
DAYLIGHT I WILL FIND
IT’S NOT FOR ME TO DECIDE
IT’S NOT LIKE YOU TO LIE
LEAVE THE FEAR BEHIND YOU NOW
MY MY HOW THE GOOD TIMES FLY
SHE SAYS SUGAR WITH
SPOON FULLS OF SALT
IF I BURN OUT NOW IT’LL FALL APART
DON’T BLAME ME IF YOUR HEART RUNS COLD
I TRIED BEFORE TO WARN YOU
BUT IT WON’T LET ME GO
BUT YOU’LL NEVER EVER CHANGE MY MIND
IT’S BEEN A LONG OL’ ROAD TO RUIN
DAYLIGHT I WILL FIND
IT’S BEEN A LONG OL’ ROAD TO RUIN
DAYLIGHT I WILL FIND
IT’S BEEN A LONG OL’ ROAD TO RUIN
DAYLIGHT I WILL FIND
