sugarcoated 03:48
a skeleton plays the piano and you look you beautiful today / third class horrorstories have always been an essential part of the play / and so the glue silently dripped down your sugarcoated lip / closed my fleshwound by mistake. i got the keypoints and that will do / enough to over-romanticise you / or are you only here to teach me a lesson about context? / a beginner's guide to drunk texts / heeled boots stuck in mudd / the art of not giving a fuck / no question about it: that stare will do me no good. and i know you could make the whole town just burst into applause / how should i calm down when you sharpen your claws? i ran away so the needle broke off in my arm / met a friend of a friend of yours and raised an alarm / oh, he's basically a guy that impersonates himself / but he might just look top-shelf next to all the green girlie-vodka you had / they're not good for your health, babe / there's too much sugar in there / when you ruffle my hair / way too much sugar in there / there's too much sugar in every single strand of your hair / there's too much sugar in there / i really need to beware. you make the whole town just burst into applause / how should i calm down when you sharpen your claws? there's too much sugar in there / there's too much sugar in there / when you ruffle my hair / way too much sugar in there / there's too much sugar in every single strand of your hair / there's too much sugar in there / i really need to beware.

moonlighting in the giftshop of your thighs / we're selling woe below price / it's frightening how the kiss outbarks the bite / howling for you all night. i saw a new era dawning, ignored every warning / and woke up to find i was Kafka this morning / tied up in bright silk / what took years to build will go down in flames within minutes the day she's like... (if there's no more water i will save my last drop for you / and if one apple's poisoned i will taste all of them for you) meet me down at the oldest giftshop in town / just use your fingers to count / got kicked out of the oldest giftshop in town / 'cause you were not around. and now the glitch sometimes itches, ignored all the twitches / but after 500 miles we got a side stitch / as she threw a glance at disney-romance / but if there's no music she's never in the mood to dance. wish you were in the mood to dance / she's never in the mood to dance. if there's no more water i will save my last drop for you / and if one apple's poisoned i will taste all of them for you / and if we have to walk 500 miles, you know i'd give you a piggyback-ride / if this is a war, i'll go out and win it for you.

first at the scene but last to know / the marching band got stuck in the snow / the tambourin drowns out the screaming / first at the scene but she will never know / well, if you're born deaf what language do you think in? / and if you're colourblind, can they colourgrad your mind? / will there be lemonade when this ship is sinking / and most important of all... tell me: who's gonna pay for that? / who's gonna pay for that? / me, I suppose. don't let them panic, silent alarms / make up a hero make him too big to fail / a sugarcoated call to arms / and coupons to the people so they won't complain / when we set up the bright lights, eat money and sing / oh, we know all too well we're gonna get our heads kicked in / first at the scene when the boy dropped his ice cream / daddy, call the police, ask them... who's gonna pay for that? / who's gonna pay for that? / me, I suppose. you should hire two investigators and make them follow each other / and if you're already around you might as well have another / those umbrellas in your drink are obvious evidence that the sun will shine on your behalf / just for the laugh.
