Sugar Bullets

Stranglers · 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
