"Sugar In A Bowl" lyrics

"Sugar In A Bowl"

I found a fire in your shadow
I know you are born to be wild
In your years you've been alone too
Hidin' from the monsters in your head

Sugar in a bowl on your coffee table
Animals that sleep on your dinin' room floor in your house
You are still waitin' for life to pass by one second at a time

Your freckles are gone and now your face is
White as the walls surroundin' you
Coffee keeps you up for hours
TV tucks you in at night

A picture on the wall, of a friend you used to know
The smell of the coffee sitting on the stove, in your house
You are still waitin' for life to pass by one second at a time

Sugar in a bowl on your coffee table
Animals that sleep on your dinin' room floor, in your house
You are still waitin' for life to pass by one second at a time
