Sugar Bullets

(album: Stranglers In The Night - 1992)

Hey Chairman have you heard the news
The red man just got the blues
From sucking on sugar bullets

Hey Chairman look over the wall
The little man is walking tall
From sucking on sugar bullets

Well I never thought I'd see
The sun set in the East
Or the walls come tumbling down
So let us drink to missing friends
And call them to the feast

We'll bury the broken bones
Under the precious stone

And it just goes to show
Nobody knows what's in the future
And it just goes to show
Nobody knows at all

Hey Chairman don't look now
The new man will not kow tow
He's sucking on sugar bullets

I threw the coins last night
Broken lines in a blood red sky
And someone loading sugar bullets

[Repeat chorus]

The black queen with the ivory smile
The wild dog and the mystery smile
Are sucking on should be bullets

So Chairman don't feel bad
We think of the fun you're gonna have
Sucking those sugar bullets
