[00:00.39]Sugar Tongue (Band Version) - Indigo Girls
[00:17.17]All the fur and fin
[00:19.79]will lose again
[00:25.60]Cause our better is
[00:28.03]their worst reckonin'
[00:34.52]And our fine-feathered friends
[00:39.26]will sing until they bleed
[00:42.82]And how will we
[00:43.76]replace that symphony?
[00:51.00]I've got the blackest boots,
[00:52.99]the whitest skin
[00:55.61]Satisfy my sugar tongue again
[00:59.54]Bring me love that
[01:01.41]buys us shoe-shine days
[01:04.10]Guilded verses for your ethylene
[01:07.97]And sing it to me free and clean
[01:16.58]All the kids come home
[01:19.08]with foreign limbs
[01:25.19]From hunting trips abroad
[01:27.56]they lose again
[01:33.99]And we'll teach them
[01:35.36]how to talk
[01:37.73]And whistle while they walk
[01:44.03]And do the dirty work
[01:46.59]of battle hymns
[01:52.46]I've got the blackest boots,
[01:54.64]the whitest skin
[01:57.20]Satisfy my sugar tongue again
[02:01.18]Sing me love that
[02:02.99]buys us shoe-shine days
[02:05.80]Guilded verses
[02:06.49]for your ethylene
[02:07.48]
[02:09.47]And sing it to
[02:10.53]me free and clean
[02:13.96]
[02:30.97]Drinking tea with
[02:31.78]milk and Janjaweed
[02:39.33]Pontificate on genocide
[02:41.89]
[02:44.25]or greed
[02:48.31]With a spoonful of descent
[02:53.62]For the orchestra of need
[02:56.11]Is just enough to
[02:57.11]please this colony
[03:04.60]I've got the blackest boots,
[03:06.72]the whitest skin
[03:08.96]Satisfy my sugar tongue again
[03:13.46]Bring me lullabies
[03:15.08]and morphine-dreams
[03:17.57]Belladonna with her atropine
[03:21.70]And sing it to me free and clean
