molasses

you are made of sugar

milk and molasses

so

little darlin'

you attract all the bees

you are the gazer

you are the attraction

it takes a little vanity to know what it means

i know it 'cause you wrote it down a hundred times

but you say that you're doin' just fine

say there's something better

but today

there is a cold moon rising

and you wanted something better

but tonight

tonight you're giving up

i asked a question

give me an answer

you'll say the word

and i will disappear

you're running fast

but you can run faster

your wheels to the dirt

gonna make it clear

i know it 'cause you wrote it down a hundred times

but you say that you're doin' just fine

say there's something better

but today

there is a cold moon rising

and you wanted something better

but tonight

you know you'll never find it

say there's something better

but today

there is a cold moon rising

you wanted something better

but tonight

tonight you're giving darkness

and you can't hear me

i will try to draw you near me

but in the morning

you will wake up alone

when your body breaks

even the hummingbirds will feel the earthquake

you'll sing a song of your heart's complaints

sing it loud

sing it clear

oh

sing so i can hear you

then sing it soft in my ear

take it up

or take out

put me down

in the grand

i'll go anywhere with you

say there's something better

you don't see it

you won't find it

say there's something better

you're behind it but you won't get it

la da da

la da da

la da da

la da da

say there's something better

but today

there is a cold moon rising

and you wanted something better

but tonight

you know you'll never find it

la da da

la da da

la da da

la da da

say there's something better

you don't see it

you won't find it

say there's something better

you're behind it but you won't get it
