Sugar Won't Work

[Verse 1]

Lightning up and shake the ground

Is that a horn that's blowing? Or a bell that's tolling?

Walls are falling, ships pulled out from their mooring

Is that a river or just a road the storm has stolen?

[Chorus]

And this will predict the times these signs will bring

Me and my stupid heart we were never apart

But now sugar won't work

[Verse 2]

Lightning up and fly the coop

Far from this tin-pan alley oop

Did you think I was your dupe?

I hear such lies and howlers, words to pull out your molars

[Chorus]

And this will predict the times these signs will bring

Me and my stupid heart

We were never apart but now sugar won't work

Sugar won't work

[Verse 3]

Lightning up, sugar the pill

A wall of ocean ten miles high

Metal darts torn from the sky

Like wanton boys make noise pull wings from flies

[Chorus]

And this will predict the times these signs will bring

Me and my stupid heart, we were never apart

But now sugar won't work

Sugar won't work

Sugar won't work

Sugar won't work

Sugar won't work

Sugar won't work
