I need sugar
I need a little watersugar
I get thoughts about you
And the night it wants me like a little lost child
Locked in a safe place
Lookin out the window
The dark move fast past the window
The dark on the other side of the locked door

My thumb's on a tetris keyring
Moving in brilliant timing
You pick up the phone
And I'm imagining

expected early in the morning
expected early in the morning

Rising in the morning stopped to you
Beneath the feet of the city
Click
You disconnect from me

When you're gone you take your century

Telephone breath between us
There are no borders between us
Only these wires
Dust between the wires
And the green grass

In the distance
I am your tourist

expected early in the morning
expected early in the morning

Moving in brilliant timing...

I search for this spot then find you fellas hangin around at the same
Stump...and you're right there with 'em

well, I've never fished here, but I caught beaucoup fish in reverend
Burton.

I never did catch fish here
