Andy LeMaster - Sugar Street lyrics

How the hell is everything Since I've been away Is the weather any better? Did the landlord fix the drain? Did Louie sell his paintings? Did Kevin quit his job? Will you tell him that I love him and I miss y'all a lot Thought about deserting Jumping on a plane the other day It was just a fleeting feeling man I'm usually okay When I'm holding conversations in a language I don't speak And coughing on the radio and screaming in my sleep I'm just tired of feeling tired Tired of getting drunk Took a picture for the paper and they made me stand in front But I shouldn't be complaining there's been people at the show I even saw the Eiffel tower in the souvenir snowglobe There's just a couple more and then a day off in Amsterdam I'm gonna check into a hotel get fixed up if I can You know I promised I'd be careful With the company I keep And I hold myself together until I'm back on Sugar Street, Sugar Street You start at the beginning and go on to the end Sometimes a perfect stranger might end up your only friend First you nod politely because you're not that interested Ask some abstract question like a bored psychiatrist But then you get to talking about the plastic in the seat The nightmare of their childhood and reality tv It starts to sound familiar like you're coming back to life Make some observations start offering advice Always look in both directions when you go to cross the street And if you jump off any buildings make sure you land on your feet Oh promise you'll be careful With the sympathies you seek Cause I know you'll feel better Once you're back on Sugar Street, Sugar Street And Oh, I promise I'll be careful When I put myself to sleep And I hope that I feel better Once I'm back on Sugar Street, ah Sugar Street
