Lyrics for Sugar 'N Spikes

And sugar and spikes and neon nights Walks in lights, in chains coughin' smoke-whoopin' hope Cardinal sky rush by Falls bark in dark, all back in dark Lies steam stale shoes move broom in pale Moon in a dime store sale Sugar and spikes and everything nice and everything nice and crazy That's what little worlds are made of, lady I'm paid up in home in my new Friday's house There's no H on my faucet, there's no bed for my mouse My punch and grow mind is in diamond back time Now it's king for a day with my lady look fine Got my peakin' up hat and my caramel mask Tremelo car, got my speidel wrist round my honey Goin' to see the navy-blue Vicar Paul, Peter and missus Wray flicker
