Sugar Town

(album: Bizarre Fruit - 1994)

Raining, raining, raining. Rain in sugar town
Raining, raining, raining. Rain in sugar town

A new day dawns across the tracks
Tile by tile the chimney stacks
A city steeped in history
But so much pain and misery
Rain on me, rain hard and long
Faith of our fathers makes 'em strong
Rain on me, rain hard and long
Rain down on the place that I belong

'Cos it's just another night in sugar town
And the rain is falling down in sugar town

"I'm alright", I say to Jack
"Just get this monkey off my back"
Sugar town in urban light
People got no cash and it don't seem right
Blue light fever, downtown crash
One man's treasure, one man's trash
Rain on me, rain hard and long
Rain down on the place that I belong

'Cos it's just another night in sugar town
And the rain is falling down in sugar town
'Cos it's just another night in sugar town
And the rain is falling down in sugar town

I don't ask a lot, all I want is one god shot
I don't ask a lot, all I want is one god shot
I work and work, prepare myself
Wait all my life and lose my health
From a file to the brain cold steel more rain
Rain, rain, rain

Raining, raining, raining. Rain in sugar town
Raining, raining, raining. Rain in sugar town

Muscle man with bully boy plan
Catch us baby if you can
Streets of gold, oh streets of gold
Asleep on concrete, feels so cold
Rain on me, rain hard and long rain
Rain on me, rain hard and long rain

Raining, raining, raining. Rain in sugar town
Raining, raining, raining. Rain in sugar town

Raining, raining, raining. Rain in sugar town
Raining, raining, raining. Rain in sugar town

Rain on me, rain hard and long rain
Rain on me, rain hard and long rain
Rain on me, rain hard and long rain
Rain on me, rain hard and long rain

Raining, raining, raining, raining
Raining, raining, raining, raining
