lyrics

Sugar brain, sugar brain
With a boner for a cane
If you’re happy in the rain
Then you’ve got nothing to lose

I could say, I could say
What you wanted me to say
But if you wanted me to say it
Then it’s just an excuse

It’s a shame, it’s a shame
That I won’t forget your name
When a name is just a memory
Of what you forgot

If I break you for your bread
It doesn’t matter if you’re ready or not
You’re getting fed
To what’s been chewing on the thought


All along
You go where you don’t belong
If you’re still there when I come
Won’t know where I’m coming from

You can’t do anything to turn me around
I’ll give you up till you’re gone
I’ll drive you into the ground
Whether you’re right or you’re wrong

Don't you know?
I’m a kamikaze
I’ll rip right through your body
I’m a kamikaze
I’ll rip right through you...

Sugar brain, sugar brain
Are you stupid? Are you vain?
I never promised you a thing
What do you want me to do?

You can dream, you can dream
But there’s no amount of kicking and screaming
That’ll make it
Any better for you

Hide and seek
Take a peek
You’ll imagine me for weeks
Till the imaginary freak
Has ripped the shirt off your back

Cause you love your fucking honey
Like you hate me for fun
So I’ll fuck you for the honey
And leave you with a gun


So go on
You go where you don’t belong
If you’re still there when I come
Won’t know where I’m coming from

You can’t do anything to turn me around
I’ll give you up till you’re gone
I’ll run you into the ground
Whether you’re right or you’re wrong


Don't you know?
I’m a kamikaze
I’ll rip right through your body
I’m a kamikaze
I’ll rip right through you...


I’m a kamikaze
I’ll rip right through your body
I’m a kamikaze
I’ll rip right through you...
