Marmalade

[Verse 1]
Wade in dirty water, float through holy marmalade
I was high, drawin' symphonies in MIDI on the plane
One of one Galliano, sensible heel, I was the man
Pink clouds on my left, and my world on demand
Tug of war with my emotions, petty lines in the sand
Baby steps in heavy weather, I still call you when I land
Horse Pills, "Music for Airports" on highways again
And I had to call you, mama, I had flowers in my hand

[Chorus]
Smile to the pain, smile to the pain
Coke and champagne, sugarcane
Sugarcane, why you do me that way?
Polyurethane, doin' my dance in the rain, once again
Might not ever feel the same

[Verse 2]
Baby boy's a junkie in a soup of guarantees
Crawlin' on hands and knees through the life of my dreams
Hope, hopeless Dionysus with a pyramid of needs
Swallowin' the ocean, spit fire when I breathe
Call you when I'm dope sick, baby, please, don't ever leave
Hum me lullabies, my mama used to sing to me
"Rocket Love" on repeat, doo-doo-doo like he sang
And I had to see you, mama, I had flowers in my hand

[Chorus]
Rocket, boys, hold, two, hold, 'gain, hold
Coke and champagne, sugarcane
Sugarcane, why you do me that way?
Polyurethane, doin' my dance in the rain, once again
Might not ever feel the same
Smile to the pain, smile to the pain
Coke and champagne, sugarcane
Sugarcane, why you do me that way?
Polyurethane, doin' my dance in the rain, once again
M-might not ever feel the same
