Sugarwater - Kitty

Sugarwater hot pink like it’s Jamaica

On the mic I look just like it, I think

'Cause I’m a fighter, I’m a mighty woman

Glow under light bars with lighters up

Inviting you to ride in my white car

I’m not allowed to drive it 'cause my license is gone

But I can ride in it for radio

And like every song, and sing along at any volume

While I fight the urge to call you (call you)

So I’m gonna put my heels on

I can walk about a hundred feet

Until I stumble over flyers for your show on the street

'Cause I’m a 10-speed on a chain of fake gold

Best sleep when I’m laying alone

I’m breathing fire, if you’re leaving, bye, goodbye

You say I’m salty, but I’m just tryna add a little seasoning

I know I make it awkward when I don’t explain my reasoning

I hear about it every time I poke at you to work

I’m your alarm and your nanny, wanna iron all your shirts

I’ll write it down, write it good enough to put it on my status

You’re crawling up the lattice with your vines

Running fingers up the trellis, you’re Elvis at the table doing lines

And I’m leaving 'cause I’m jealous, 'cause you’re mine

You’re sitting in the mirror, you splattered it with all of your spit

I’m rubbing powder on my chin, it’s on account of my zits

I’m in the bathtub splashing on my yarn while I knit

You’re dropping acid here while I babysit, you never listen

10-speed on a chain of fake gold

Best sleep when I’m laying alone

I’m breathing fire, if you’re leaving, bye, goodbye

So mean when you stay too long

So weak, but I play it so strong

I’m breathing fire, if you’re leaving, bye, goodbye

The name of the band is Talking Heads

But you always add a «the» to the beginning

It’s superfluous, and similar to me

I tell you everything and get you doing everything I tell you

Like an elephant, they get to pull the tent up at the circus

In a dead zone, wandering and never getting service

I can mend those socks now — maybe that’s the purpose

I been searching for since I was seventeen

And all the ugly little hearts

I’m getting over

And you’re helping 'cause you love me

Drinking Blue Moon bottles and I feel like Billie Holiday

And talking like Sinatra, saying anything I wanna say

I’m getting topless and I wonder what my mom would say

But I don’t give a fuck 'cause I’m a grown-up and that’s what we do

That’s what we do, and that’s what we do

I’m in the bathroom, I just make you mad, huh?

10-speed on a chain of fake gold

Best sleep when I’m laying alone

I’m breathing fire, if you’re leaving, bye, goodbye

So mean when you stay too long

So weak, but I play it so strong

I’m breathing fire, if you’re leaving, bye, goodbye

Sugarwater dripping from you, it’s all I wanna eat

I’m like a hummingbird and unconcerned about it 'cause it’s sweet

I’ll let you creep like a rose vine crawling up the trellis

And we know what it is and can’t afford to be jealous

I go to hell and back, I do it all for you 'cause you deserve it

I don’t tell you that 'cause you think I don’t try

I don’t tell you that 'cause you think I don’t try

10-speed on a chain of fake gold

Best sleep when I’m laying alone

I’m breathing fire, if you’re leaving, bye, goodbye
