Sugar Pill is the final song of The Japanese House’s second EP, Clean, released in November 2015.
The singer, Amber Bain described the song to Noisey: “Sugar Pill is when people see you as this fun little drug in their life but don’t really care.”
I could have you up in arms
And I could have you singing
I'm a confident speaker
I could tell you anything
I was standing on the table
Legs by the light right near the window
I could see them walking past
They were laughing
No one we know
Ooooh
Ooooh
Ooooh
They caught me by the ankles and they shook me out
My brain is fuzzy
I'm a sugar coated pill and I'm a pick me up
And put me down again
They hollowed me out
Wore me like a glove
I shook so many hands
I've been dreaming of
You can use my rib cage as a pillow
It doesn't suit me
I feel flimsy when I grin
Like a stretched out piece of skin
You can beat the dust straight out of me
I'll come clean in the end
I really like the yellow 'round the edges
Of my bruises as they mend
Ooooh
Ooooh
Ooooh
They took me by the ankles and they shook me out
My brain turned fuzzy
I'm a sugar coated pill and I'm a pick me up
And put me down again
They hollowed me out
Wore me like a glove
I shook so many hands
I've been dreaming of
