Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Sugar Sugar Sugar Lyrics

Sugar, Sugar, Sugar
That man is bad
The road he drives you down
Oh sugar, it's a drag

The road it twists
The road is crossed
It's down that road
A lot of little girls go lost

Sugar, Sugar, Sugar
He will drive ya on
Until the city of right
Becomes the city of wrong

Man, that stretch is far
You'll slip and slide
That stretch will find you
Gagged and tied

Sugar, Sugar, Sugar
That assembly of sin
Like a lamb to a knife
You followed him in

He will laugh
And hang your sheets to see
The tokens of your virginity

You'll be his queen for the night
But in the morning you'll wake
With the lords and high ladies
Of the bottom of the lake

Sugar sugar
Honey you're so sweet
But beside you baby
Nothing can complete

Sugar, Sugar, Sugar
Honey you're 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

You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray (honey)
You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray
And get down on your knees and pray

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on

Sugar, Sugar, Sugar
That man is bad
And that's the bottom baby
Coming right up ahead

You can smell his fear
All his fucking 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 your innocence
Like a dog he comes
And like all the dogs he is
I shot 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
You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray

You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray (you better pray-pray)
You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray
('Cause your daddy he ain't far away)

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 come to take you away)

You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
Get down on your knees, and pray
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 (yeah baby, you're tender prey)
You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray ('cause yeah baby, you're tender prey)

You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray
