INDIGO GIRLS - Sugar Tongue lyrics

rate me

<BR>

All the fur and fin will lose again <br>

Cause our better is their worst reckonin' <br>

And our fine-feathered friends will sing until they bleed <br>

And how will we replace that symphony? <br>

<br>

I've got the blackest boots, the whitest skin <br>

Satisfy my sugar tongue again <br>

Bring me love that buys us shoe-shine days <br>

Guilded verses for your ethylene <br>

And sing it to me free and clean <br>

<br>

All the kids come home with foreign limbs <br>

From hunting trips abroad they lose again <br>

And we'll teach them how to talk <br>

And whistle while they walk <br>

And do the dirty work of battle hymns <br>

<br>

I've got the blackest boots, the whitest skin <br>

Satisfy my sugar tongue again <br>

Sing me love that buys us shoe-shine days <br>

Guilded verses for your ethylene <br>

And sing it to me free and clean <br>

<br>

Drinking tea with milk and Janjaweed <br>

Pontificate on genocide or greed <br>

With a spoonful of descent <br>

For the orchestra of need <br>

Is just enough to please this colony <br>

<br>

I've got the blackest boots, the whitest skin <br>

Satisfy my sugar tongue again <br>

Bring me lullabies and morphine-dreams <br>

Belladonna with her atropine <br>

And sing it to me free and clean<br>

<BR><BR>

<BR>
