Sugarwater

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sugar water, hot pink like it's a mica On the mic, I look just like it, I think 'Cause I'm a fighter I'm a mighty woman, glow under light bars with lighters up Inviting you to ride in my white car I'm not allowed to drive it 'cause my license is gone But I can ride in it for radio and like every song And sing along at any volume While I fight the urge to call you (call you) So I'm gonna put my heels on I can walk about a hundred feet Until I stumble over flyers for your show on the street ('Cause I'm) [Chorus] Ten-speed on a chain of fake gold Best sleep when I'm layin' all alone I'm breathing fire If you're leaving, bye Goodbye [Verse 2] You say I'm saltier, but I'm just tryna add a little seasoning I know I make it awkward when I don't explain my reasoning I hear about it every time I poke at you to work I'm your alarm and your nanny, wanna iron all your shirts I'll write it down, write it good enough to put it on my status You're crawling up the lattice with your vines Running fingers up the trellis, you're Elvis at the table doing lines And I'm leaving 'cause I'm jealous, 'cause you're mine You're sitting in the mirror, you splattered it with all of your spit I'm rubbing powder on my chin, it's on account of my zits I'm in the bathtub splashing on my yarn while I knit You're dropping acid here while I babysit You never listen [Chorus] Ten-speed on a chain of fake gold Best sleep when I'm layin' all alone I'm breathing fire If you're leaving, bye Goodbye So mean when you stay too long So weak, but I play it so strong I'm breathing fire If you're leaving, bye Goodbye [Verse 3] The name of the band is Talking Heads But you always add a "the" to the beginning It's superfluous, and similar to me I tell you everything and get you doing everything I tell you Like an elephant, they get to pull the tent up at the circus In a dead zone, wandering and never getting service I can mend those socks now Maybe that's the purpose I've been searching for since I was seventeen And all the ugly little hearts I'm getting over (And you're helping 'cause you love me) [Verse 4] Drinking Blue Moon bottles and I feel like Billie Holiday And talking like Sinatra, sayin' anything I wanna say I'm getting topless and I wonder what my mom would say But I don't give a fuck 'cause I'm a grown-up, and that's what we do That's what we do, and that's what we do (And that's what we do) I'm in the bathroom, I just make you mad, huh? [Chorus] Ten-speed on a chain of fake gold Best sleep when I'm layin' all alone I'm breathing fire If you're leaving, bye Goodbye So mean when you stay too long So weak, but I play it so strong I'm breathing fire If you're leaving, bye Goodbye [Bridge] Sugar water dripping from you, it's all I wanna eat I'm like a hummingbird and unconcerned about it 'cause it's sweet I'll let you creep like a rose vine crawling up the trellis And we know what it is and can't afford to be jealous I go to hell and back, I do it all for you 'cause you deserve it I don't tell you that 'cause you think I don't try I don't tell you that 'cause you think I don't try [Chorus] Ten-speed on a chain of fake gold Best sleep when I'm layin' all alone I'm breathing fire If you're leaving, bye Goodbye
