Marvin and his wife, Trina, are in the midst of getting a divorce. Trina is begging Marvin to stay, even though he’s sleeping with Whizzer. Marvin awkwardly tries to ignore her and halfheartedly reassure her. The song ends with a tragic and quiet submission on Trina’s part.
A Breakfast Over Sugar Lyrics
[HIS WIFE]
Pass the sugar, please
I dreamt last night we flew to China
Your parents own a car
Don't they?
Won't they drive away?
[HIS WIFE]
May we talk as friends?
I dreamt last night you almost held me
I cry as if on cue
Hold me
Hold him, too
But stay
Please drink your tea before it's cold
I can't believe
We've
Worked
To end up this way
Strip me down
But stay
Please
Please
[MARVIN]
The sugar
Please. Please
Jesus Christ
You'll come through
Please drink your
Tea before
It's cold
Pass the sugar
Please
You can't go on as if you're dying. A martyr just won't play; hit me
Strip me down
But say:
This is much better for the both of us
Now things are better for the both of us
[HIS WIFE]
Pass the sugar
Please
[MARVIN]
Please
[MARVIN & HIS WIFE]
Please
