[Verse 1]
Come back to me
Belly aching and tired of waiting
Solitary fear
Stay, enjoy your water, boy
And come back to me
Celebration fear
Everything it takes, no compare to it
Milk and iced chocolate
Thank the stars for the blessed saviours

Be your blood (Blood)
Be your sugar (Sugar)
Be your blood (Blood)
Sugar (Sugar)
Be your blood (Blood)
Sugar (Sugar)
[Bridge]
Be your blood
Sugar
Be your blood
Sugar

[Outro]
Be your blood
Sugar
I’ll be your blood
Sugar
Be your blood
Sugar
