Sugar Man Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sugar man, won't you hurry?
'Cause I'm tired of these scenes
For a blue coin, won't you bring back
All those colors to my dreams?
[Chorus]
Silver magic ships you carry
Jumpers, coke, sweet Mary Jane
[Verse 2]
Sugar man met a false friend
On a lonely dusty road
Lost my heart when I found it
It had turned to dead black coal
[Chorus]
Silver magic ships you carry
Jumpers, coke, sweet Mary Jane
[Verse 3]
Sugar man, you're the answer
That makes my questions disappear
Sugar man, 'cause I'm weary
Of those double games I hear
[Chorus]
Sugar man, sugar man, sugar man, sugar man
Sugar man, sugar man, sugar man
[Verse 1]
Sugar man, won't you hurry?
'Cause I'm tired of these scenes
For the blue coin, won't you bring back
All those colors to my dreams?
[Chorus]
Silver magic ships you carry
Jumpers, coke, sweet Mary Jane
[Verse 2]
Sugar man met a false friend
On a lonely dusty road
Lost my heart when I found it
It had turned to dead black coal
[Chorus]
Silver magic ships you carry
Jumpers, coke, sweet Mary Jane
[Verse 3]
Sugar man, you're the answer
That makes my questions disappear
