Burnt Sugar Is So Bitter |
She says what has her daddy done |
That you want him to be punished |
When she woke up one day to find |
That he was starting to vanish |
But _if you hope_ (?) to hear voices |
You know you should not be listening |
Push the vigilant lips |
Make a slice of her face |
Said the scandalous whispering |
She’s not on her own with the rest of her riches |
As the kids paint him out of their refrigerator bitches |
She picks up the bills and pays the babysitter |
'Cause everybody knows burnt sugar is so bitter |
And once there was a time |
Before you turned strange |
She thought they’d be together |
For more than a lifetime |
Look at them now |
My, how things have changed |
He can tell his sweetheart |
Out of any girl on just a whiff |
And turn it from a candy to a caramel |
And make her hate the silouette she used to feel |
And say «I know nothing about you.» |
Now what’s left of the birthday cake |
Smeared and beautifully frosted |
An absent father picks up the phone |
To find the number’s unlisted |
While the kids are distracted |
She’ll notice _she's nervous at all_ (?) |
But how long will it take |
Not to make a mistake |
When a gentleman comes to call |
She’s not on her own with the rest of her riches |
As the kids tear down their refrigerator pictures |
They already know how a woman may advance |
From a pretty picture hat to a supermarket trance |
Where it is unkind, she might as well forget it |
'Cause everybody knows burnt sugar is so bitter |
Burnt sugar is so bitter |
Burnt sugar |
Burnt sugar |
Burnt sugar |
