You can be white
I can be brown again
We have to go hide
'Cause your mother's in town again
And I wanna take you home
And I wanna take you back
I'm on the ground
You're in the air again
Releasing the hounds
You wanted a harlequin
And I wanna take you home
And I wanna take you back
And I wanna take you home
And I wanna take you back (sugar-sugar, sugar-sugar)
I'm cutting the wire (sugar-sugar)
There's nobody listening (sugar-sugar)
Slashing the tires (sugar-sugar)
Made you late for the christening (sugar-sugar)
And I wanna take you home
And I wanna throw you back
And I wanna take you home
And the screen just turns to black
It's hot, it's warm, it's cool, all right
I kiss, you take another bite
You said, "Just stay away from light"
Down here, I'm not afraid of height
And I wanna take you home
'Cause I wanna take it back
And I wanna take you home
And the screen just turns to black (sugar-sugar, sugar-sugar)
Sugar-sugar, sugar-sugar
Sugar-sugar, sugar-sugar
Sugar-sugar, sugar-sugar
Sugar-sugar, sugar-sugar
Sugar-sugar

Lipstick:

How and why
trace strange designs in my mind?
Bridges burned and lost
and never ever far behind
Of perfume and lipstick and wine
I wish I told you
That was the time
And now all the moments are gone
I wish I told you
You were the one
But I could be wrong
Betrayed by the winds of change
Still the world goes round and round
Becalmed in a sea of words
That only ever let me down
All that perfume and lipstick and wine
I think I told you
That was my crime
When all the moments were gone
That's when I told you
You were the one
So the story always ends in vain
Oh that love's a mad thing
And though some might say not to think that way
I'd say that love was a bad thing
If I'm deep in doubt
When I kiss your mouth
Is this feeling the real thing?
So perfume and lipstick and wine
They're not the answer
No answer is mine
Just questions and worn-out replies
I've got no reason
Or plan left to try
So I say goodbye
