Sugar Free

(album: A Jackknife To A Swan - 2002)

They'll talk about it after dinner over after dinner drinks
Then tie it to the car's antenna and pray the sinking feeling shrinks
And if they make it to see monkey time it's difficult without a spine
Like the yellow bellied jelly fish, they'll try to sneak back into line
Erase it from all recall, clear it like the dinner plates
It was autumn was it ever fall, could you tell me what this illustrates
And you know me
They're gonna raise it or they'll post it while they're lowering the boom
To paraphrase you're getting closer, might meet me in the dining room
I'll try going easy on you and try not to leave a scar
Well oh all right I'm sorry but not as sorry as you are
Erase it from all recall and clear it like the dinner plates
It was autumn was it ever fall, could you tell me what this illustrates
And you know me I'm sugar free

It's the candy-coated soft shoe in the land of sponge cake men
That whine and dine on gingerbread then they're passed out in the den
Erase it from all recall, clear it like the dinner plates
It was autumn was it ever fall, could you tell me what this illustrates
And you know me
I'm sugar free
