Elvis Costello Sugar Won't Work

Tekst piosenki

[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]

[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]
