Was it you did?
Stolen love with everything
You failed
I come out
And they said, "Well, if you knew"
Sugar will kill you and
Though it ain't poison
But too much of a good thing
Maybe not so.
So, I did everything
Steal the light
That was shining on you
When I left, I took your fame
And everything just to spite
And always, baby
Thinking how much it hurts
To hurt you
Still I will if I must do it
Hard as I can
'Cause I know you would
See, sugar will poison love
Sugar will kill you
But too much of a good thing
Maybe not so.
I did it all
And I ran on
My back, turned it and looked
To see if you'd caught my tailwind
As I flipped around the corner
And no one, baby you
Just thinking
A drop dead, sordid morning
I give to you death
Between it and poison oops
And you knew
Sugar will poison us
Sugar will kill you
But too much of a good thing
Maybe not so sweet

Sometimes don't you find yourself leaning heavy on the things that you could fill your stomach you do
Sugar aint poison
Sugar will kill you
Too much of a good thing
Maybe not so sweet
I came out we all stood round the fire and I got this crazy idea from inside myself I don't know where it came from still I do wonder why I did what I did throwing gasoline into the bonfire up we blew me too
Sugar aint poison
Sugar will kill you
Too much of a good thing
Maybe not so sweet
Stumble and I fell and oh the heat was blistering me I can not describe the feeling of burning clothes clinging to me baby I wonder what came to my mind that day and baby don't you think that maybe those things that you do
Sugar aint poison
Still
Sugar will kill you
Too much of a good thing
Maybe not so sweet

I caught you whispering
But when I got close you stopped
It made me think things
I didn't wonder 'bout what you were saying you knew
Sugar ain't poison
But sugar will kill you
Too much of a good thing
Maybe not so sweet
So I convinced myself
You were out to get me and
It didn't make being with you easier
No, not a little bit baby
Oh I'd like to wrap my fingers
Around your sweet little neck love
And oh you got me turned devil you knew
Sugar ain't poison
But sugar will kill you
Too much of a good thing
Maybe not so sweet
Stumble into me, fall
Maybe you would catch me
Oh just a few hours ago
I would bet but now I'm
I'm not quite so sure baby
You have told me
Don't you understand that you can get me
But oh, oh, baby
I'm not what you were looking for after all
Sugar ain't poison
But sugar will kill you
Too much of a good thing
Maybe not so sweet

I came into this room
saw you whispering you called on stop this on till morning
got me wondering, you
Sugar will poison
sugar will can use
too much of a good thing
maybe not so sweet
And I so find the swell inside and
I could not hold together
what I once thought was in myself
And I come up screaming,
waking and the pillow's wet
And I'm ever so ever so locked in,
could I have not seen it coming on myself
I wonder if you knew
Sugar rain poison
sugar will can use
too much of good thing
maybe not so sweet
It's a laugh if you think
(mumble?) how small really the years go on on when you
look at everything myself
And I see it looking good
And I can't pretend inside of me
that it doesn't drown out everything
Oh, if I could only find the light in myself
And I saw that you knew
Sugar rain will poison
Sugar will can use
too much of good thing
maybe not so sweet

Cigarettes and red red wine
So spend all night with you
And talking of myself
I wonder if you knew
Sugar ain't poison
Sugar will kill you
Too much of a good thing
Maybe not so sweet
And I came stumbling in
Caught you whispering to a friend
When you call my eyes thought
And pretending not to see me
I don't know 'bout myself
Maybe I'm a little bit crazy
But still I can't help thinking myself
That you oh, you knew
Sugar ain't poison
Sugar will kill you
Too much of a good thing
Maybe not so sweet
See oh, these two men
I swear they went through ten bottles just sitting there
And sweating in summer time
They looked sick as hell
And I wondered if I could get there myself
I bet too late my soul no
I wonder if I could be there myself
And I wonder if you knew
Sugar ain't poison
Sugar will kill you
Too much of a good thing
Maybe not so sweet

She said
Don't like the way
I'm unfolding for you, well
Then in that case
Take a guess what I think
Oh, what you think of me
Maybe I should worry just for myself
And you take care of you, no
Sugar will kill you, still
No, it ain't poison
Too much of a good thing
Maybe not so sweet
And I came stumbling in
Caught you whispering to a friend
When you call my eyes thought
And pretending not to see me
I don't know 'bout myself
Maybe I'm a little bit crazy
But still I can't help thinking myself
That you oh, you knew
Sugar ain't poison, still
Sugar will kill you
Too much of a good thing
Maybe not so sweet
Holding on, now
Holding next to me
Let me collect my things
And I be right out of your head
The sweet thing is bitter as ever, hold on
I'm only doing for myself
What I think shouldn't be done
Come in as wrong as myself
And I think you know you said
Sugar ain't poison, still
Sugar will kill you
Too much of a good thing
Maybe not so sweet

Excuse me, have you seen me?
could you spare a minute?
listen to me, well I know this
I was saying, standing here by myself
I just wonder if you knew
Hey, sugar ain't poison, but
sugar will kill you
say too much of a good thing
maybe not so sweet
So when I came in stumbling
thought I caught you hanging up the phone
I wonder no no, well I was just sitting here well
now you got me paranoid
now so, I liquored up myself
and I'm no doubt on to you
I didn't mean throw my hands, oh myself
but you fell, oh, you knew
Hey, sugar ain't poison, but
sugar will kill you
well too much of a good thing
maybe not so sweet
It's different when I think of you
so then, now that you're gone
and I blame myself all of it
oh say, I didn't mean to
I don't know when to say when
please, reconsider leaving, myself
but I should just go away
please don't listen, I try myself
to get you back, you knew
Hey, sugar ain't poison, but
sugar will kill you
well too much of a good thing
maybe not so sweet

What's the sense,
What's the sense of making any sense of it at all?
Mistakes made,
I won't say,
Coming in me,
When up, in my, oh, only,
Stuck on this for myself,
No wonder if you do
Sugar will poison
sugar will kill you
Too much of a good thing
Maybe not so sweet
What do you know about that?
I stumble in the room,
Find you warm, whispering about --
Call you, you notice,
In the froze of life,
Man, everything I pointed at
Guilty of, oh this,
Stumble in this for myself,
You do, always, always,
Stuck on this for myself,
And I wonder if you knew
Sugar will poison
sugar will kill you
Too much of a good thing
Maybe not so sweet
What do you know about that?
You, man, oh, go away,
No matter guilty,
And I swear I would say,
Maybe not right away,
But eventually,
When it eats away my insides,
I complain to you by myself,
And I tell you, hey ,what's new?
Always stuck on this for myself
And i wonder if you knew
What do you --
Sugar will poison
sugar will kill you
Too much of a good thing
Maybe not so sweet
What do you know about that?
What do you know about that?

You must go off with your same ol' spinning idea
Well I've done stuff
we'll make mistakes
but I don't need to pay for everyone of them for myself
do you think that you do
Hey, Sugar ain't poison
but sugar will kill you
Say too much of good thing
Maybe not so sweet
What do you think about that
Lonely as I could have been
Waiting to hear something from inside of you
But I heard nothing
So I went looking for myself
And I found a couple things for myself
Maybe not so wholesome
Still I was searching all by myself
I wonder if you new
Sugar ain't poison
But sugar will kill you
Too much of a good thing
Maybe not so sweet
What do you think about that
Stumbling in, late at night
I must have lost track of time
At the bottom of the last bottle
I was swallowin'
Maybe not
But I was feeling
Good, good, good
I saw this
Found it all by myself
Came back, you was crazy
Whoa saw this for myself
Sugar ain't poison
But sugar will kill you
Too much of a good thing
Maybe not so sweet
What do you know about that
09.12.2004
So what is it?
in the middle of this
came in oh save oh
ran for [?]
and covering all I wonder
called off this for myself
wonder if you knew
Sugar ain't poison but
sugar will kill you
and too much of a good thing
maybe not so sweet
well, what do you think about that?
I came in maybe a bit too late and
stinging you said of something holy
and I did wait and saw this
really matters some was rumbling out and
try to find for myself
whatever I couldn't bring
empty space I fill for myself
I wonder if you knew
Hey, sugar ain't poison but
sugar will kill you
well, too much of a good thing
maybe not so sweet
what do you know about that?
And all of then a sudden you were screaming
came scratching in like all the days
oh I thought must be dreaming
it's not like you to put on [?] then
I've done it all by myself
still it seems surprising
oh they broke them all by myself
still wonder how you knew
Sugar ain't poison but
sugar will kill you
said, too much of a good thing
maybe not so sweet

Funny, who would think we'd be standing here?
you and me, asking these questions of our soul again
wondering myself, couldn't be here how did we
and I wonder this for myself
I wonder if you do
Well, sugar ain't poison but
sugar will kill you, see too much
of a good thing maybe not so sweet
In no way I was stumbling into
you went and caught me as I fell
and only then did I realize I'd been fought over
ankle over me all of this has got me lost in myself
I wonder about everything always
I wonder this for myself
and I wonder if you do
'Cause sugar ain't poison still
sugar will kill you
too much of a good thing maybe not so sweet
So then what's the answer my friend?
will we wait out our differences
I think we'd find if we looked again
that those things similar
between you and me are much more
knows a self at least with myself
two eyes, two arms, everything else
didn't always solve for this for myself
and I wonder if you do
'Cause sugar ain't poison still
sugar will kill you
well too much of a good thing maybe not so sweet
what do you know about that?

They are always talking about you with friends,
Oh, it's as if you will sit and just stare next to what was,
Laughing about the things we said,
Making fun, and bursting all the bubbles,
I wanna say, there's no one quite like you, friend,
And you missing little pieces of a puzzle you left,
Sound and all, I believe that I would like to see you there
Oh, I wish you were laughing out loud, the way you did,
Make everybody light up like a Christmas tree,
You were just more than I could ever believe,
Darkness and light, both deceive and it's only all about,
But, could you love with yourself,
In a broken heart in million pieces,
All you did was cut it down, and let us out,
Little brother, that would be only you
Sugar will poison,
Sugar will kill you,
Too much of a good thing,
Maybe not so good
Cover me, cover me,
I'll keep you out ahead,
We switch places, and nobody, you get up, no way,
Cover me, brother, cover me, and when I get ahead, I do the same for you,
Believe me, I want you standing here right by me,
Is that too much to ask of anyone?
But just to say, and I swear I could hear you sing,
From the next room just earlier today
So, I had to say,
Soft for everything,
And all I had to say was,
Would you please forgive me, brother?
If you, oh I,
Oh, I didn't see you there,
Swear on everything about how,
Could let go of this and make it,
A little bit ---
Just a little bit ---
And so your gone, farewell, going,
Oh, I will not soon forgot,
And when I join you wherever you is,
I will come up and slap what you did,
Again,
Oh yeah,
Hey yeah
